MSU Retirees Association Meeting, Monday, April 12, 2010, from 2:00-3:00 pm (refreshments at 1:30 pm). Location: Community Room, MSU Federal Credit Union, 600 E. Crescent Road, just off Harrison Road in East Lansing. Speaker: Robert (Bob) Groves, Vice President for University Advancement, Michigan State University. Topic: Helping to Achieve MSU’s Financial Objectives. Robert Groves began his tenure at MSU on January 1, 2009. “This is an exciting time to be joining MSU, where leadership has created tremendous momentum, as evidenced by many recent successes,” Groves said, citing MSU’s selection as the U.S. Department of Energy’s site for the $550 million Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, IBM’s decision to locate an application center on campus, and the increasing accomplishments of MSU athletics as just a few examples. “The potential for building upon MSU’s successes is dramatic because of the quality of programs and people at this internationally renowned University. MSU University Advancement is a new unit created last summer with the inclusion of University Development and the MSU Alumni Association under the university advancement umbrella. Groves comes to MSU most recently from the University of Michigan, where he was associate vice president and campaign director for University Development, from April 2004. Previously, he held positions at the University of Minnesota, Pennsylvania State University, Wright State University, and at his alma mater, Ohio State University.

At the May 10, 2010, MSURA membership meeting, a vote will be taken on a resolution approving the incorporation of MSURA; authorizing MSURA officers to adopt and file articles, bylaws and other necessary documents to implement the incorporation; and authorizing a related transfer of MSURA assets to the new corporation. The proposed resolution, articles of incorporation, and bylaws may be viewed on the MSURA web site: http://www.retirees.msu.edu/10May2010IncorporationVote.html The MSURA Board of Directors supports the transition of the MSURA to a not-for-profit corporate form, with the same governance structure and purposes as the current unincorporated association. The goal of incorporation is to limit the liability of MSURA Board members, managers, and volunteers in accordance with law and to provide a more formal structure for MSURA's future. ________ Gordon Williams MSURA List Manager (en10006) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE from the MSURA e-Notices list, please e-mail your request to the e-Notices List Manager at: MSURA.List.Manager@gmail.com If you are an MSU retiree and want to ADD or CHANGE an e-mail address for the Retirees Association e-Notices list, contact the List Manager at the above address.
