The University of Iowa Alumni Association (UIAA) National Board met on Friday, June 9th for their Annual Board Meeting to discuss the Advancement Model being asserted by President Harreld for the UIAA to adopt. The UIAA sought outside legal representation to help with any issues or concerns with the proposed and recommendation actions. New UIAA interim leadership, Becky Scott, recommended to have the UIAA merge with the University of Iowa Foundation to form a new organization. This new organization would be under the legal name of the University of Iowa Foundation (UIF) but have a new facing name that reflects the Advancement Vision. At the end of the meeting, the National Board voted to start the planning for merger to the UIF.
The next steps would be to develop a merger plan and have it approved by the National Board by October 1st, 2017. This plan will consist of UIAA staff considerations, financial obligations and funds, program and engagement plans as well as complete plans on how IOWA Clubs, like the Capital Area Iowa Club (CAIC), will be integrated into this new organization. There are still many logistical and procedural questions that will be addressed in the coming months before the new organization will be finalized, but rest assured, your Capital Area Iowa Club leadership will not stop in our dedication to provide the best engagement and connection to the University of Iowa and Hawkeyes.
