Attendees:
UPJ Alumni Board
Elections were held and the first meeting of the new alumni board at UPJ. There are several members of the UPJ Alumni Board who are members of Greek Organizations. Bernie Martin has been appointed interim chair of the newly formed Greek Subcommittee and will be holding their first meeting on August 14.
Background & History
Nearly a decade ago when Bernie built the UPJ Greeks website which has been funded by Dr Pete Korch (Delta Chi) they developed a proposal to create a Greek Alumni Council which include a set up By-Laws and some longer term capitol project for a Log Cabin outdoor forum and underground storage/ showcase area for Greek Organizational history. The intent was to create another affinity group subcommittee similar to what the Alumni Board had approved for the Education alumni. In an Executive session of the Alumni Board it was decided to not approve additional affinity group subcommittees. That put most of the plans on hold for a Greek Alumni Council. Until now.
Greek Alumni Council subcommittee
According to Matt Sernell, Co-Presdent of the new Alumni Council and as part of the newly created Greek Subcommittee, "Also remember, other alumni that are not on the Alumni Board can serve on committees, so if you know of someone who your committee feels could brings something to the table, they can participate in the committee and committee activities." which has laid the foundation for a Greek Alumni Council that could fall under the liability umbrella of the UPJ Alumni Board.
Liability Coverage
During the meeting this evening, it was determined that should find out more about liability coverages for the reunion weekend events. David Janusek said that he would begin research into this topic and have some information for the next meeting.
