Committee Report

Under the leadership of Warren Picket and Lars Berglund, the committee worked closely with the UCD Retiree Center to develop information, welcome to new retirees, and represent the UCDEA at the Fall meeting for new retirees. In an on-going basis, the committee sends personalized welcome letters to all emeriti who join the association as well as useful information. They maintain up-to-date records of active members and those eligible for membership. They are actively exploring formation of unit/college/school based “chapters” of UCDEA, each with a liaison or representative, so that all emeriti have a designated representative to the UCDEA. The goal of creating more effective and mutually beneficial interaction between emeriti, current faculty and administration, alumni, and donors.
