UC DAVIS: OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION

September 26, 2007

DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS

RE: Business Officer Institute Call for Nominations for November 26-29, 2007, 
in San Francisco

The next session of the Business Officer Institute (BOI), sponsored by the 
UC Office of the President (UCOP), is scheduled from Monday, November 26 to 
Thursday, November 29, 2007 in San Francisco. (Registration begins Monday, 
November 26, at 4 p.m.; reception starts at 6 p.m.) Once again, we seek your 
assistance in identifying and nominating individuals for participation. 

UCOP is especially interested in individuals who are the lead business officers 
for their unit. We are seeking individuals who have broad decision-making 
and/or supervisory responsibility in an academic or administrative department 
for budget, finance, internal control, human resources or sponsored projects. 
We are looking for a balanced representation between academic and 
administrative departments.  Staff in both units will benefit from 
participation in the institute.

The Business Officer Institute was established in recognition of the critical 
role that business officers play in a rapidly changing business environment.  
The UC business environment is characterized by localized decision-making 
authority, increased regulatory interest and oversight, emphasis on risk-taking 
and innovation, and increased complexity.  UC Davis has been particularly 
responsive to this opportunity by supporting the participation of 643 
individuals in the BOI to date. The Davis campus and medical center have a 
limited number of participant slots per BOI session. The Office of the President 
covers the cost of the institute, including private room and most meals.  
Departments are expected to cover the cost of travel, incidentals and two 
evening meals. Additional information on program content, UC Davis business 
management learning opportunities, a link to the Office of the President BOI 
web site, and other logistical details can be found at http://sdps.ucdavis.edu/boi.htm.

To nominate an individual for participation in the BOI, please email the 
following information to the Davis campus BOI coordinator, Chuck Yannacone, 
Staff Development & Professional Services(cgyannacone@ucdavis.edu):

* Participant: name, title, title code, department, email address, telephone 
number, whether nominee is from an academic or administrative unit.

* Nominator: name, title, email address and telephone number.

* Supervisor: name, title, email address and telephone number.

* Rationale for your nomination. 

Your support of the Business Officer Institute strengthens the UC Davis 
commitment to sustaining excellence in our business managers. We look forward 
to receiving your nominations for the November 26 session by Monday, 
October 22, 2007.
