One of the initiatives that Dr. Stobo started and Dr. Callender has embraced is the idea of an Employee Advisory Council, a group charged to represent classified and A&P staff in the all-important task of helping make UTMB the place to work. I was given an opportunity to provide logistical support to a small but hard-working group who were charged with setting things up. I only knew one of them when we started; I consider them all friends now. And they’ve done a great job. There’s an opportunity out there now for a few dedicated and wise individuals to offer a bit of their time, energy and good ideas in the service of others. Nominations are open for four additional EAC members, for elections that are slated to take place in January 2008.
