President Cunningham's Message

Looks like we settled into the 2000 decade without disasters or meltdown. We should have so few wrinkles!2000 also symbolizes a new level of involvement for us. This newsletter publishes the results of our mail-ballot election of officers to key bodies in the Faculty Association: Executive, Contract Committee, Council. This is a significant first in the life of our Association: with it we begin the steady process of making our voice listened to on all issues relating to pension and associated benefits. Your WURA representatives and Executive members are currently engaged in relevant discussions.

I invite you to make a point of noting, and turning out for our semi-annual general meeting (Tuesday, March 28) and the dinner social (Saturday, April 8).


Dr. Ross Paul begins his third year as President with a "State of the University of Windsor" message on January 28, 2000.


Professor Norm Shklov Founding President of the Retirees' Association - Now enjoys a Second Retirement!

After serving as President from 1991-1995, Professor Shklov continued to be on the Retirees Association Executive, as ex-officio Founding President until recently, when he decided to step down. He has been active in pension matters since 1971 and a resident expert for the Association on matters of pension and benefits. His contribution to WURA and the University over the past decade in writing several reports on Faculty pension and Benefits is much appreciated. The WURA Executive will miss his wisdom and careful scrutiny of all retirees' issues.

We thank him for his dedicated service to the Association and wish him good health and much happiness.
