Words from the Chair
As we approach the new year, many of us are making resolutions - such as resolving to lose weight, stop smoking, or just enjoy life more. The UM Staff Advisory Council has resolved to work harder to represent you. To do that, we need your input. In the near future we will be sending out a survey/questionnaire asking what issues you feel SAC needs to address. Please be sure to fill it out. To paraphrase our slogan - by working together today, we work toward a better tomorrow.
Happy New Year, and I hope that 2006 is a great year for everyone!
