Website Admin Note

Pardon the construction .. we are re-vamping this main page of the website and recruiting a new Intern/Assistant. Meanwhile, email to the contact list will convey updates, and here are a few notes for alumni site visitors

1) If you haven't already joined us, in order to be on the UAA mail contact list and included in the Directory, please visit our Membership page.  Submit the brief form used for contact and for vetting/authenticating in case we few volunteers don't recognize your name. We’re not at all exclusive but need coherence as an association, including guarding entry to the contact list and access in order to protect privacy.

When you submit the form, we will reply as soon as feasible with a welcome note including a log-in to access the Members section of the website.

The Members log-in section includes the current Directory for about 700 alumni, contact info for UAA Organizers, survey results, Articles & By-Laws, Speakers Roster, Minutes of Meetings (most recent -11 March 2010), Archives, and other items. Contact membership@usaidalumni.org for log-in username and password reminder.

2) To support UAA and access to the members-only section, $75 contributions (per vote at the first membership meeting in November 2009) are appreciated to pay for UAA web server and email contract costs, an Intern (GW int’l affairs grad student), webmaster and recurrent webware support, legal registration, and for preparing the annual meeting. Checks to: UAA c/o DACOR | 1801 F St. NW | Washington, DC  20006.

UAA fund-raising for 2010 began in mid-March. So far, 90 people have contributed about $9000. Thanks to all!  Personal acknowledgements will be sent soon.

Patience, please, with the website, organization, and products…absent crises, volunteer work is always limited.

Thanks to DACOR (Diplomatic and Consular Officers, Retired) for providing UAA's legal, physical mail address in the District of Columbia and for co-hosting the Development Dialogue luncheon series with UAA – much appreciated.
