New Committee Member Information

Some of this information is for new committee members, reminders for continuing members, and some of it may not be relevant to your committee. If you have any questions you can contact the executive assistant at 403.440.6192. Thank you.

 Committee Transition Event

The MRFA executive is planning for a committee transition event for August 20, 2010 at 2:00pm in the faculty centre. This event is both to thank outgoing members and to introduce new members and provide for a smoother transition for our committees. Committee Contact lists can be found here.

 FOAP Charge-backs

Please remember that if you are using the MRFA FOAP number for doc services etc you need to send me the receipt/yellow form they give you once your order is complete. (if you want to keep the receipt you can send me a photocopy of it). Please ensure you mark on the receipt somewhere which committee made the charges.

Reimbursement

If you incur expenses as a result of committee activities please provide me with receipts and a filled out reimbursement form.

Committee Budgets

Some committees are provided with a budget for event planning. Committees that have not been given such a budget draw from one pool of limited funds. If you require clarification please contact the executive assistant of the association at 440-6192 or e-mail: office@mrfa.net

 Reporting/Communications

The only reporting that is required of committees is the annual report to be submitted at the beginning of May every year. However, to improve faculty members' awareness of what the MRFA committees provide them with, please send any kind of updates you/your committee wants to have posted.

·         Each committee has a section on the website, and information will be posted there.

·         Also, information/updates/event notices go out in our weekly and monthly newsletters.

Weekly Newsletters are sent out at the beginning of every week: if you want something in this newsletter please have it the office by Monday morning (e-mail event details to office@mrfa.net).

The monthly newsletters go out on the first day of every month and provide information about what the MRFA has accomplished in the past month: please have anything you want included in the monthly newsletter to the office by the morning of the first day of each month.

 Election of Chairs

If your committee is responsible for electing its own chair, inform the executive assistant of the results by September 1 every year. To see if you are required to do this look at the appropriate section of the MRFA Bylaws.

 Committee Elections

The committee contact list (available HERE) lists the members of the committees and the remaining length of their terms. All committee elections are in May.  If there is a member of your committee that will not be able to complete their full term for whatever reason, please inform the executive assistant of the association: office@mrfa.net.
