MEETING APPROVES PROPOSAL ON MEMBERSHIP:

UNANIMOUS APPROVAL TO INVITE ALL OF THE "OTHER PERSONS" COVERED

UNDER THE FACULTY PENSION PLAN, TO JOIN THE ASSOCIATION

MOVE WILL BROADEN THE BASE OF THE MEMBERSHIP;
COULD INJECT WELCOME NEW IDEAS

AT THE FALL GENERAL MEETING, the Executive Committee proposed that the Association widen its "full membership" category. The motion passed unanimously.

THIS "WIDENING" MEANS that all persons who receive a pension under the same plan as covers retired faculty and librarians, are now eligible to become members of the Association.

WHO ARE THE ELIGIBLE NEW MEMBERS?

They are principally administrators who were active in the academic-related side of the University. The faculty pension plan was set up to cover Faculty (which included Librarians), and "certain other persons". Among these are also included some staff persons from Assumption University, who were also included in that Pension Plan.


NEW MEMBERSHIP CARDS ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS ISSUE

Membership cards for 1996-1997 are included on this page. As members are aware, the Association's year runs from Fall Meeting to Fall Meeting.

The decision was made to send cards even to those whose membership dues of $10. remain unpaid, in the hope that this magnanimity might inspire an early response.

On the subject of dues payment, see pages 6 and 7 below.
