A Message from the Chair
At the recent NCURA Annual Meeting, Region IV was particularly excited about this year’s theme of “inclUSion” because it aligns perfectly with the formation of the inaugural NCURA Region IV Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee! This new committee will serve as the region’s guide for efforts in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), acting as a voice for all of our members. This new committee will keep the region up to date with the current best practices in the field of DEI, and communicate directly with the Region IV Board of Directors, as well Ebony Jones, the current Region IV member of the NCURA national Select Committee for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion. This group will actively work to fulfill NCURA’s commitment to DEI, ensuring that “every member of NCURA has a right, without regard to gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, social class, sexual orientation, ability, personality, functional experience, or background, to fair and respectful treatment, equal access to resources to support professional growth, and equitable opportunities to contribute to NCURA’s success.” The formation of this new committee was first announced at our 2023 Spring Meeting in Sioux Falls, SD, this past April and since then, we’ve received an outpouring of support and volunteers! We are looking forward to showcasing the efforts of this new committee at the 2024 Region IV Spring Meeting at the Kensington Hotel in Ann Arbor, MI, from April 28 to May 1, 2024. Region IV would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of the individuals who have helped with the AM65 program this year. We are proud to be represented on the AM65 Program Committee by the following Region IV members:
With National Research Administrator Day just around the corner on September 25, 2023, we hope everyone takes some time to reflect on all of the hard work that goes into research administration every day. This is an opportunity to celebrate all that we do, and to acknowledge all who do it. Thank you to all the research administrators, and to all the individuals who make our work possible! And thank you to NCURA and its staff for everything you do to promote the advancement of the research administration profession! Julie Olivero, University of Michigan Chair, NCURA Region IV
