Retired Faculty and Staff Association
Second Annual
Business Meeting
|
About fifty RFSA members attended the second annual meeting on April 13 at the Price Seniors Center in San Marcos. Following coffee, snacks, and conversation hosted by the Advisory Board, President Marianne Reese opened the meeting by reviewing some of the accomplishments of our first year as a formal organization and our plans for the coming year. Marianne then introduced Becky Prince, Vice President of University Advancement, who provided the leadership to launch the organization three years ago and whose division provides essential data-base and staff support. Becky spoke briefly of University Advancement's mission which focuses heavily on maintaining connections among constituencies within the University community. |

The
main business of the day was the election of officers for academic
2009-10. Margaret Dunn, Chair of the Nominating Committee, presented
the Committee's recommendation which was to reelect current officers
(Marianne Reese, President; Ev Swinney, Vice-President; Ollie
Maier, Secretary; Darlene
Schmidt, Treasurer; and John Beck, Ombudsperson) for second terms. The
Committee's recommendation was approved by acclamation. Margaret then introduced Gregg Andrews, professor of history and assistant director of the Center for Texas Music History, who talked about his long love affair with country music, his role in the formation of the Center, and his deep involvement and commitment to preserve the Cheatham Street Warehouse. Gregg, who writes all his own songs and with Dr G and the Mudcats performs frequently in the Central Texas area, then sang three of his pieces as samples of his work. |
