What is SA ?The Supervisors Association, or SA, is a non-profit organization made up of supervisors and managers from all departments of Human Services System. SA was established in the late 1950s with its purpose being to enhance supervisors'/managers' knowledge and skills through leadership, training, and peer networking available through the association. SA is guided by a ten-member Board consisting of a President, four Vice-Presidents--Program, Fund Raising, and Membership--a Social Chairperson, a Historian, a Parliamentarian, a Treasurer, and a Secretary. Members of the Board serve a two-year term. Where can I find more information about SA?Most of the information you need about SA is located within this web site. You can visit the rest of the site from the home page or by using the links at the top or bottom of this page. If your questions are not answered here or you cannot find an answer to your question anywhere else within this site, you can contact any member of the board for more info. Finally, you could attend a meeting and learn first-hand what we're all about. What are SA's objectives?The objectives of SA are:
What does SA do?The Supervisors Association meets six times a year to network with other supervisors, receive information on problem solving, share experiences, good and bad. There are workshops, guest speakers, and enlightening presentations on what is really going on around us. In our meetings, we hear from peers in our different departments about new and innovative things they may be working on. We learn more about coming changes from our department heads. We have open discussions and are always interested in what you may have to offer in the way of ideas for new topics. We hold fundraisers to help cover the costs of seminars and speakers, and to make contributions to charities, such as foster care children. How much does it cost?Actually, participating in SA activities is free, because all meeting costs and membership dues are fully reimbursable. Dues are $10 per year (FY 7/1 through 6/30) and can be reimbursed simply by completing an Education Assistance Proposal (EAP) form and submitting it to 0515-HSS-Finance. General meetings cost $17 for members and $20 for non-members. The Annual Fall Seminar and Christmas Winterfest are special activities and can sometimes cost a little more. The good news is that this cost is also reimbursable. You can claim this reimbursement by completing a Travel Expenditures and Claim for Payment form. Complete the same as for any other travel expense reimbursement (Date, Time From/To, Where, Why) and add the following to the Detail Support portion of the form.
That's all there is to it. Do I have to be a member to attend SA functions?You do not have to be a member to attend meetings, seminars or other SA functions. You do, however, realize a savings if you become a member and attend at least four regular meetings each year. Any supervisor or manager within HSS may attend SA functions, and even if you are in an acting supervisor position you may participate. When are SA meetings held?General membership meetings are held the last working Thursday of even numbered months throughout the year, with the exception of the Christmas Winterfest. This meeting varies according to availability of facilities and because each year we alternate the Winterfest between a day and evening meeting. For year 2004, this meeting will be an evening event. Board meetings are held during the third week of odd numbered months. Attendance is not limited to Board members only. Active members in SA may also attend board meetings. How do I join SA?At any SA General Meeting you can contact Lee Fitzgerald, Membership VP, for a registration form and new member packet. You can also download and save a New Member packet which will give you the registration info you need to join. Just click on "Sign Me Up!"
