UC DAVIS: OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION

August 19, 2008

DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS

RE: Business Officer Institute Call for Nominations for October 20-23, 2008, in Burlingame

The next session of the Business Officer Institute (BOI), sponsored by the UC Office of the 
President (UCOP), is scheduled from Monday, October 20 to Thursday, October 23, 2008 in 
Burlingame. 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 over 700 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 October 20 session by Monday, September 15, 2008. 

Thank you,

Stan Nosek
Vice Chancellor-Administration
