UC DAVIS: OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION

March 14, 2008

DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS

RE: Business Officer Institute Call for Nominations for June 2-5, 2008, in Newport Beach

The next session of the Business Officer Institute (BOI), sponsored by the UC Office of 
the President (UCOP), is scheduled from Monday, June 2 to Thursday, June 5, 2008 in 
Newport Beach. 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 673 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 at 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 June 2 session by Friday, April 18, 2008. 

Thank you,

Stan Nosek
