APSAC elects vice chair
The Administrative and Professional Staff Advisory Committee elected Cherry Delaney as 2008-09 vice chair during its meeting April 9.
Delaney, security awareness and outreach coordinator for IT Networks and Security, will take office at APSAC's May meeting. She succeeds Leonard Seidel, director of catering and events at Purdue Memorial Union, who will serve as chair for the coming year.
APSAC also elected three current members to serve as members emeritus in 2008-09: Kristie Bishop, service desk manager in the College of Liberal Arts; Mike Budzik, network administrator in the Department of Food Science; and Dan Leaird, senior research engineer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
APSAC bylaws allow for the election of up to three emeritus members, who act as non-voting resource members during a one-year commitment. The emeritus members will help to provide continuity for 2008-09, when 14 of the 25 APSAC members will be new.
In other business, APSAC approved a letter providing recommendations for a University parental leave policy, which is expected to be ready by July 1. The letter will be sent to John Beelke, director of Human Resource Services, and Pat Russell, ADA/Leaves/CDL program consultant.
