It's payday!

Dear Members,

Well, it’s payday today!  I am grateful that we are still getting paid – that the University is operating, that HR staff are processing payroll, and that all the other staff and faculty and CUPE employees are keeping things running, whether having to come on-site or working remotely.  I have expressed to others that it is incredible that we are able to continue operating an organization our size with so many of us having to work remotely.

President's update - January 2020

As we welcome in 2020, I can look back at my first two months as President of the UWSA.

First of all, it is truly an honour to serve in this position.  We have a terrific board of dedicated UW staff members, plus our own two very dedicated UWSA staff - Gail Spencer and Cathy Bolger.  I am so grateful for this great group of people to work with, on behalf of our members.

Reflections on my first two weeks of being President

I am now coming up to two weeks in my official duties as President of the Staff Association.  And I have to say, it’s been a bit of a whirlwind!

As you may know by now, Rose Vogt tendered her resignation from the Board as she was moving on to the greener pastures of retirement.  We all wish her a happy retirement!  But that did leave us with a vacancy in the role of Past President which Michael Herz has agreed to take on – thanks Michael!
