UM Staff Advisory Council Members 2007-2008

Words from the Chair

Holiday Greetings!

I so enjoy this time of year with family, friends, co-workers, and all the festive activity that is available through music, theater, and other celebrations.  2007 did fly by a bit too quickly but I think of all the accomplishments that the University of Missouri has made in those months and note the many undertakings and events that have made us more recognized in the higher education community and the nation.  What a wonderful time to be a part of the University of Missouri. 

Our next SAC meeting is scheduled for December 14, 2007, 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in Conference Room 225 at University Hall.  All staff are invited to attend.  If you cannot attend but would like to share a comment, concern, suggestion, etc., please email or call one of the UM SAC members (their phone numbers and email addresses are located on the UM SAC website http://www.umsystem.edu/sac page) and your information will be added to the December agenda.

Don't forget, SAC Council is here for YOU!  Let us know what we can do for YOU by sharing your thoughts and ideas!

Wishing you a Happy Holiday and a Wonderful New Year.
