Message: [QUOTE="jpdmath, post: 1353515, member: 5997"] Hi: To answer your question, my understanding is that everyone with the exception of the now-Associate Vice President for Alumni Relations/ED of the Association is now a Foundation employee--so still employees of a separate 501(c)(3). The AVP is a state employee. There is also one staff member charged with maintaining the Alumni Center who still works for the Association, since the Center is an asset of the Association. The number of staff members dedicated to alumni relations is about the same as it was before the transition. Also, that really, really, sucks. I'm sorry you had that experience here. I do know that a lot has changed in a very short time--the last year or two--with an eye toward focus and growth, looking at processes and structures that may have not worked in the past and seeing how we can improve. I hope if you're in the area (or in a region with an alumni group) you can attend Huskies Forever Weekend in the fall, or an event beforehand, and let us know what you think. I love UConn. I've been a women's basketball fan since I was a kid (my winter uniform: '90s logo Starter jacket from Bob's over a Whalers jersey), had a great experience as a student here, and I want to see us continue on the trajectory toward being a top-tier, nationally recognized public university with a strong alumni base. I don't think I'm alone in that, either as a staff member or an alum, but the only way we'll get there is to work together. [/QUOTE]
