Mr. Guthier introduced the Leadership Team with a video clip featuring the boy band One Direction which served as a metaphor for the Union. He announced Rebecca Blank as the new Chancellor and reported that she will be given a financial brief when she arrives on campus so she has a better understanding of what happens at the Union. He referred to the brief included in the meeting packet and explained that the purpose of the brief is to let her know that the Union is different from other college Unions. He then discussed updates on the overall funding strategy for the Wisconsin Union. No more than $200 million has been invested in the two Union projects. Mr. Guthier opened up for questions. An update on the campaign cabinet is in the meeting packet, and will also be covered in the development meeting. Ms. Hadary stated that she believed the piece prepared for Chancellor Blank was superb and it should be put in the MUBA handbook because much of the material is timeless. Ms. Hillman noted that this piece should be the basis for what the new Vice President of Public Relations should use to spread around campus.

Margaret Tennessen: Administration Ms. Tennessen explained that administration is what happens behind the scenes at the Wisconsin Union. This group includes Fiscal Services, Human Resources, Cash Management, Information Systems, Marketing, Membership, Staff Education and WisCard. She noted that the administrative staff try to stay invisible while helping everyone else accomplish their goals. Ms. Tennessen went on to say that she is very excited about the updates to the Wiscard program, of which the Wisconsin Union is in charge. Currently there are about 80,000 people on campus with a WisCard. Students, parents and guardians can put money on the card online, and currently the Union is in the process of adding an e-check deposit option which will premiere in fall of 2013. In August 2014, the three accounts on the WisCard will be condensed into one to make it easier for parents and students to understand. This will hopefully make freshmen students more excited about dining at the Union. She stated that the administrative staff are currently working on creating a mobile dining application which will identify where all dining services. The application will also offer online ordering. Ms. Tennessen went on to discuss updates from Student Employee Advisory Group (SEAG). There are currently about 1,500 student employees at the Wisconsin Union. SEAG consists of student representatives from each department and a member of Union Council who attends bimonthly meetings. Ms. Tennessen serves as the staff liaison. SEAG organizes end of the semester recognition programs, employee of the month programs, and they are currently working on a lifetime membership discount program with Lucy Lloyd and the membership committee. The Institutional Advancement Team comes together twice a month to help Mark and Glenda with fundraising priorities. This team is also responsible for business and community outreach; they recently hosted Downtown Madison Inc. to promote corporate memberships as well as the Union as an event venue. The administrative staff has also been working on the marketing and promotion of Memorial Union. It is important that people realize that the Terrace is still open during construction. There will be a direct mail and signage campaign launching soon. Ms. Tennessen then discussed the new brat stand. The Union will be opening the brat stand while the rest the construction continues. The Union is also opening the east concession stand which will be known as “The Gazebo.” The name is based on both the structure and the menu. Mr. Guevara asked about the branding around the Terrace. Ms. Tennessen said that her team has been focused on urgent branding such as outdoor activities which are opening this summer. Mr. Guevara went on to say that everyone has an idea regarding the brand of the Terrace in their minds, and these ideas should be compiled. Ms. Tennessen agreed that this was a good idea. Mr. Korz: Dining Services Mr. Korz discussed the newly renovated brat stand which will be more efficient. It will be designed as a full indoor/outdoor kitchen which will allow staff to process customer orders faster. The stand will feature classic Wisconsin cookout food. The top of the stand will feature a retractable sunscreen fabric to shade the student employees. Mr. Korz announced that Union South won project of the year award from Food Equipment and Supplies Magazine, which is a national publication that promotes all of the best design projects. He noted that this award is about both the design and the efficiency of Union South. Mr. Korz then went on to discuss student engagement. He mentioned how mobile ordering will set the union ahead of the curve. He also noted that the Union will start to use more local and organic foods, and promote health and wellness. Food service will also be focusing on food quality and variety within the food units.
Mr. Korz then mentioned a student employee and WUD collaboration which involves the 1,500 students who work at the Union. The dining services committee will bring in student employees as committee members. The committee will focus on improving the work environment for students. Mr. Korz stated that a student studying interior design has been hired to help with detailing in Ginger Root. This model will be used throughout Union South. Two more student artists will also be brought in to create original art for that area. There is a wine-bar intern that will help with training and the selection of products. Dining services is also doing some co-programming with mini-courses and other units. Some of these programs include monthly wine tastings at Prairie Fire and Thai cooking at Ginger Root.

Mr. Korz went on to discuss the Union’s sustainability efforts. There has been a move to use melamine reusable ware at Union South which increases saving on disposable products and decreases waste in landfills. There have been some educational opportunities and provocations such as removing bottled water from Badger Market on Earth Day and offering free water bottles instead. There are also new opportunities for local and organic food from southwest Wisconsin. The Union is now featuring “Something Special from Wisconsin” products through the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture. Mr. Korz is on the advisory board for new office sustainability. The Union will be opening operations to be learning labs, such as Aquaponics at Union South where fish live at the bottom and vegetables grow on top of the habitat. They are currently in the process of getting a grant for this. He then mentioned the possible change of Ginger Root evening hours, the campus one card system which will preview in 2014, increasing grab and go at Capital Café, the opening of coffee shops at SoHE and Nursing, and increasing health and wellness awareness.
Mr. Pancoe noted that he has never been able to try Ginger Root because of the hours, and asked why there has been a delay in changing these hours. Mr. Korz stated that they were initially concerned about the rate of growth, and they were concerned that evening hours would be a stretch. However, it has done a lot better than expected. The hours were an intentional business decision. Mr. Walter stated that it was only open for lunch because that has the highest demand, however they will now be transferring lunch business to dinner, as well as looking at weekend hours. Mr. Pancoe noted that it should be open for football weekend crowds. Mr. Cutlip asked if the Thai student cooking programming was a pilot program for other ethnic groups. Mr. Korz stated that he sees this as a programming opportunity, and showcasing other cuisines is a definite goal. Staff will both assist and learn from them. Mr. Cutlip stated that he loves the new logos, but he believes they need to incorporate an element from the Starburst chair, even just a hint, but the logo needs to be familiar. Ms. Weisberg said people she has talked to have loved the food, however she is still looking for a juice bar. Mr. Korz noted that Union South really turned a corner in dining service; however the menus are constantly growing and evolving. In June, his team will redesign and plan for improvements. They do not plan on stopping with what they have. Mr. Cohan noted that the food is now more expensive, he reminded the team that some students do not have this kind of money. Mr. Korz stated that he wants to include a price point for everyone; the goal is to provide quality dining services for everybody. Paul Broadhead: Operations and Events Mr. Broadhead stated that in the 2012 calendar year, the Wisconsin Union hosted and/or facilitated 45,137 events. 57% of these events were Union and registered organization events, 37% were hosted by campus departments and 6% were hosted by Union members and other community members. They are expecting a drop due to construction. Beginning on March 1st of this year, AV became a free service for student organizations. While the Union has always hosted day based academic conferences, the number at Union South has doubled. Day based conferences occur during the day while students are in class. Conferences also bring in clientele who wouldn’t otherwise visit the Union. Tech maintenance restored the decorative plaster and resurfaced the wood floor in Great Hall. They also facilitated the conversion of the Urban Slice Pizza concept into Lakefront on Langdon. They have worked with markets and cafés to develop an enhanced cleaning and maintenance program for the venues outside of the Union buildings. They implemented an overhaul to the building manager and event manager programs to provide the student employees better skills to serve Union patrons. As a part of the segregated fee increase, an additional painter has been added to the team, and a carpenter will be added this spring, which the Union has not had in many years.
Currently, the Wisconsin Union Hotel holds a 4.5 out of 5 rating on Trip Advisor, which is the highest rating in Madison. This is now the hotel of choice for campus departments. The hotel has the ability to tailor specific needs such as athletic recruits, and other prospects. Last year, the hotel boasted a 69.5% capacity, and a 5% growth is expected. Ms. Facktor asked if doubling the number rooms would have been a good idea. Mr. Broadhead stated that the hotel is full a lot of the time, and that they do turn people

down. Ms. Weisberg asked if there was a form of transportation between Union South, Memorial Union and the Fluno Center. She noted that the lack of transportation may stop people from staying there. Mr. Broadhead stated that they have considered developing some form of transportation. He also stated that the cost per room is now lower than Fluno, and they are trying to be competitive. Mr. Broadhead then went on to discuss Badger Bash which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary with a series of events. The Union has partnered with the UW Marching Band to create the UW Marching Band Hall of Fame. A YouTube clip featuring the Marching Band was shown, and then the Marching Band made an appearance. Mike Leckrone, director of the UW Marching Band wanted to convey his appreciation to Paul and MUBA for the Hall of Fame which is very meaningful to current and former band members. He mentioned that he was particularly pleased because he always thought that while the band belongs to the University, they do not have a home. The Marching Band now has a home. Mr. Broadhead stated that this year’s Badger Bashes featured lumber jacks, cows, fireworks, the Bucky wagon, and Mike Leckrone in a cake. A highlight of the season was being featured in the USA Today Top College Football Town reader poll. Union South hosted the 2nd annual Campus Rose Bowl Watch which was attended by over 1,000 people. Susan Dibbell: Programs and Leadership Ms. Dibbell stated that her team has used the closing of the west wing as an opportunity to look at current programs, and create a new vision for the future. She stated that Mini Courses and the Craftshop have a new mission statement. The old mission statement; Providing multi-layered, hands-on possibilities in creating and appreciating the arts, has been reimagined. She and her team looked at similar programs in Milwaukee and Sheboygan. They found that they need to develop more programs that require less commitment from the students. A group was pulled together to evaluate the current program and create a new mission statement, which was approved. The new mission statement is: The Arts. Every Day. Every one! There will be a new logo as well as a new tag line. The revitalized arts facility will emphasize student engagement, increase WUD involvement, integrate with other Union operations and narrow the Mini Course program. Ms. Dibbell went on to say that the Art Gallery has received the 10th annual Wisconsin Visual Arts Lifetime Achievement Award. Heidi Lang: Jones Leadership Center Ms. Lang stated that the Jones Leadership Center has accomplished several things this year: four leadership series were established, a curriculum advisor was hired, and Empower Series module one was developed. A group of 40 students and staff was formed. The group was comprised of students from inside and outside the Union and some freshman. This group worked with the marketing department to complete the brand positioning process. Two researchers were brought in from the authentic leadership development model. Business Meeting Mr. Erdman called the meeting to order at 8:34 am. Mr. Erdman welcomed the Trustees to the business meeting. He noted that the newly adopted value, mission and vision statements were in the meeting packet. These will continue to be in the packet from now on. Mr. Erdman stated that it is MUBA’s mission to support the mission of the Wisconsin Union, and the values are self-evident. He went on to say that he values the privilege of the responsibility of serving the Wisconsin Union. Mr. Pancoe moved to approve the Spring 2012 MUBA meeting minutes. Ms. Hadary seconded All in favor Motion passes Report from the chairman: Mr. Erdman stated that last fall he mentioned that the MUBA bank account was flush with cash. He went on to say that Mr. Guthier and the staff have presented several opportunities for funding which are
Page 5 of 11
described on the yellow sheet in the meeting packet. The Executive Committee has approved $85,000 for signage in addition to the building project. This money was originally meant to be used by Union South, since the money was not used, it was re-granted to the Memorial Union. He noted that a lot of this money will go toward the ZebraDog projects; the final designs are not yet completed. Mr. Erdman stated that because the Terrace is expanding to the east, the Executive Committee granted $18,500 for additional Terrace chairs. He noted there was a typo on the yellow sheet; the correct amount is $18,500, not $185,000. The Executive Committee has also given $25,000 to Directorate in order to support Revelry, which promotes Wisconsin Union Directorate and will promote beverage sales at Union South.
Mr. Erdman went on to discuss other actions the Executive Committee has taken on behalf of MUBA: creation of internal structuring, creation of the Board Leadership and Governance Committee, which has already come up with a number of roles and definitions of Associate Trustees as well as discussing Nominating Committee procedures. They have recommended a strategic plan for MUBA which he said he would wholeheartedly endorse. Mr. Erdman stated that the internal house has been streamlined, but in order to move forward, a strategic game plan needs to be developed. He noted that this is perfect timing because this summer Mr. Guthier and his team will be working on their three to five year strategic plan, which can align with MUBAs. Mr. Guevara asked if Mr. Erdman would be driving the development of the strategic plan, or if the team would be doing it. Mr. Erdman stated that the team has drafted recommendations. Ms. Hadary stated that there are some necessary items that need to happen, including creating a strategic plan. Mr. Erdman noted that the strategic planning task should be charged to someone. Ms. Hillman suggested that because all MUBA members are present, someone should move for the organization to develop a strategic plan and for the Executive Committee to nominate the strategic planning committee. Ms. Hillman made a motion for the organization to develop a strategic plan and for the Executive Committee to nominate a strategic planning committee. Ms. Factor seconded All in favor Motion Passes Mr. Crabb suggested that anyone who is interested in this committee should send a note to Mr. Erdman indicating their interest. Mr. Erdman stated that an ad hoc committee would be formed. He noted that he would prefer not to hand pick people, ideally people would show interest. Mr. Kasdorf asked if Associate Trustees would be considered. Mr. Erdman said Associate Trustees would be considered. Ms. Hadary suggested using the resource directory to find individuals who possess the skills to be on this committee. Mr. Erdman said an email would be sent out with a special request regarding the committee. Mr. Kasdorf suggested that a specific email is sent regarding this committee so people do not overlook it. Ms. Montgomery noted that someone must facilitate the strategic planning. Nominating Committee Report: Mr. Erdman stated that two new members have joined the Nominating Committee: Miriam Boegel and Liz Preston. Mr. Brody stated that the committee’s task was to recommend new MUBA co-vice chairs because Jan Montgomery and Bob Perlstein wish to serve another term. He went on to say that the committee met and decided to place a call for nominations for co-vice chair of MUBA, which went out to all of the Trustees. The committee received more great nominations than there were positions. Mr. Brody stated that the committee recommended the reappointment of Mr. Erdman as Chair, Mr. Cutlip as Executive Committee Member-At-Large, and Miguel Guevara and Pam Garvey as co-vice chairs with terms expiring in 2016. The committee also recommended appointing Jim Wessing as Executive Committee Member-At-Large, with a term expiring in 2016. Mr. Brody thanked everyone who was nominated and willing to serve. He noted that there were many great candidates. Mr. Brody also thanked Mr. Guevara and Ms. Garvey for taking on the responsibility. He noted that there was 100% participation at both nominating committee meetings, and the process worked really well. Ms. Facktor thanked the outgoing Nominating Committee members Ken Antaramian and Jim Wessing.
Page 6 of 11
Ms. Facktor made a motion to acknowledge the hard work of Ken Antaramian and Jim Wessing Ms. Stathas Seconded All in Favor Motion Passes Mr. Pancoe asked if the group could vote on the nominations now, unless there are objections, he suggested voting by acclimation. Mr. Crabb seconded All in favor Motion Passes Ms. Montgomery thanked Mark, Ted and everyone else. She noted that after 56 years, she has a beefeater and a raven, so she would like to say thank you. Mr. Haupt asked if silver chair pins were still available, and if it would be appropriate for students to get them. Mr. Cutlip stated the chairs are for Trustees. Ms. Facktor stated when students become directors, they become Trustees. Resource Directory Report: Ms. Hadary stated that she would like to recognize the wonderful committee that has been involved in getting the resource directory going. This project was a role model for the staff volunteer relationships. She went on to say that the resource directory is now live and has been announced to students, staff and all Trustees and Associate Trustees. Ms. Hadary reminded everyone to update their profile. Ms. Heggemeier noted that students want to know more about current connections. Ms. Herzog stated that she used the resource directory for funding for the Humanities Mural Project, and she was delighted with the value of the resource directory. Ms. Hadary said the next step is to continue to encourage Trustees and Associate Trustees to update their profiles. She also mentioned that the group needs to work with students so they know how to use it, which would also allow the group to get consistent feedback regarding how to make it more useful. Ms. Hadary noted that the back of the meeting packet has instructions about how to use the resource directory, and stated the directory is only as good as we make it. She thanked Mr. Kasdorf for implementing a keyword search. Mr. Erdman noted that along with the resource directory, the MUBA website is also a very useful tool, and the more one becomes involved with MUBA activities, the more important this tool becomes. Standing Committee Report: Ms. Montgomery noted that the chairs have done most of the work. It has been a joy to see everyone develop. She noted that Mr. Guevara and Ms. Garvey will continue to make the role of chairs even stronger. Board Leadership and Governance: Ms. Hadary stated that the role of this committee is to ensure that the organization has the structure and the processes to be nimble and responsive. She noted the need to ensure the organization is prepared to move into the future, and to ensure that the mission of providing our connections, insights and experiences plays out in the deployment. She thanked the staff and committee who have participated, and continue to participate and work hard to be a role model for the staff volunteer relationship. She stated that her committee identified the two top priorities: to develop the nominating process, and to review and update the position descriptions for Trustees, Associate Trustees and Emeritus Trustees. Ms. Hadary noted that the biggest problem was not knowing the criteria for nominating. She stated that her committee needs input, not approval, in order to make it the best it can be for the organization. She stated that her committee has spoken with the Nominating Committee, and they will use this next election as a beta test. Next fall, the committee will probably come to the Trustees for approval and acceptance. Mr. Pancoe noted that in the Development Committee, they discussed that there should be some fairly significant changes on Page 3 of the draft of responsibilities. Specifically, he wanted to change the wording for the expectations for Trustees and Associate Trustees to contribute “through a variety” of ways.
Page 7 of 11
Mr. Pancoe suggested that Trustees and Associate Trustees should be tasked with doing as much as they can. He also pointed out that an annual gift to the Wisconsin Union should be an obligation, not a choice. Ms. Hadary stated that some things should be required while other things should be optional. Ms. Hillman said that “optional” would not be the appropriate word. She noted that there are expectations which we hope Trustees and Associate Trustees will fulfill; this includes making a contribution to the Union. Ms. Facktor stated that the group currently does not require a Trustee or Associate Trustee to make a contribution. Ms. Brown noted that all volunteer boards have a set of expectations that are required in order to become a member, she went on to say that the group needs to put a stake in the ground in order to get new members to be a part of the organization, and there should be a set of responsibilities that are required. Ms. Hillman noted that the annual contribution should be unrestricted so the director has access to funds throughout the year. Mr. Cohan said the unrestricted funds issue has been discussed at two development meetings. He noted that the group should change the language and ensure that a contribution is not optional, and that the language of responsibilities should state that “it is an understanding that all Trustees and Associate Trustees give an annual gift to the Wisconsin Union.” He went on to say that this does not specify how much and when these gifts are given, and the group needs to ensure that these funds are available for anything that is needed. Ms. Weisberg stated that she agrees with this statement wholeheartedly, noting the importance that all Trustees and Associate Trustees should be required. However, she mentioned that these funds should not be unrestricted because some people like knowing where their money is going. Ms. Montgomery concurred, and stated that unrestricted giving should not be required. Mr. Pancoe suggested replacing “required” with “expected,” he went on to say that members need to know their expectations.
Mr. Guevara stated that this committee has done a tremendous amount of work on job descriptions, as well as improvements to process, he noted that the group is currently getting into details that can be discussed in a different forum. He wanted to ensure that Sharon feels that her work is appreciated. Ms. Hillman stated that the group does appreciate the work done by the committee. She went on to discuss two points: the need to make a policy decision about annual gifts, and the need to make a clear statement because these descriptions will be used to nominate Trustees and Associate Trustees, which will chart the future of MUBA. She noted that an annual gift at any level would indicate that the member truly wants to support the union, and any new members need to know what is expected. Ms. Hadary stated that her committee advocates the position of the donor who wants to make impactful, specific contributions. She noted that the committee does not want to dissuade people from making major gifts. Ms. Brown said that she believes there is a way to say if an individual has given a major gift, they are not required, but everyone else needs to give something. Mr. Cohan noted that among the MUBA Trustees, 75% of the Trustees had given. This is the premise for the requirement; ultimately the goal is to have everyone give back.
Ms. Hadary stated that the plan is to use the input to create a new draft. The goal of the committee is to bring position descriptions to the fall meeting for approval. She stated that she appreciates everyone’s input. Mr. Pancoe noted that there are no gift police, and therefore people do not realize there is a requirement. He went on to say that there are numerous opportunities for members to give. Ms. Hadary suggested that individuals send their recommendations in writing, because this is a work in progress. She noted that there are three future focus areas: focus on procedures and process, develop mentoring and training for new Trustees, and develop a recognition strategy. She went on to say that in order for the nominating process to work, there is a bylaws change. The committee proposed new wording of bylaws article 2 sections 1 and 2. First change: ensure an uneven number of people on the committee, ensure continuity, Nominating Committee members may not nominate take part in nominations. Second change: longer terms for the Nominating Committee members.
Mr. Wessing moved to accept the proposal Ms. Hadary noted that there are currently six members, moving to seven. Ms. Facktor seconded

All in favor Motion Passes Development Committee Report: Mr. Cohan said that he wanted to discuss actions that came up at the last meeting. He thanked everyone who spearheaded the thank you notes to donors, which has historically not gone as well as this year. Mr. Cohan discussed the opportunity to involve WUD officers in the thank you note process. Ms. Factor stated that WUD thank you notes do exist, but this project is different because it is focused on MUBA thanking MUBA family members. Mr. Mekler discussed increased alumni outreach. The committee has reached out to alumni in various cities in order to re-engage distinguished alumni and to have an opportunity to express the group’s needs and wants, as well as reintroducing them to campus. He noted that they have made significant progress with Hoofers. Mr. Cohan stated that the group needs to find a way to stop creating an “us” and “them” distinction between the Union and Hoofers. He noted that there are more Hoofer members than there are members of any other group, so this group needs to reach out to them more and re-engage them in the Union process. They stated that their committee has done outreach work in LA, Sundance and Kohler. Mr. Mekler noted the staff and chairs will help facilitate further outreach activities. He went onto thank everyone who was involved in the recent $10 million gift. $2 million will be for Alumni Park, and $8 million will be for the Reinvestment. Ms. Facktor asked if the donors have requested any recognition that would impact MUBA’s involvement. Ms. Noel-Ney stated that the donors need to give notice to their children before this is publically announced, and naming opportunities have been identified and approved. She noted that donations at this level need to be absolutely done by the book. The committee stated that the Mendota Blue campaign was incredibly successful, raising $40,000. And the 75 for 75 campaign is also going well. The last item discussed was the remaining goal. The Union has $11 million left to raise. It was noted that big gifts go a long way, so the Development Committee has been working hard with staff. Ms. Hadary stated that the class of 1963 reunion gift will be given to the Lakefront. Ms. Hillman wanted to acknowledge Glenda for her “super human” efforts. Finance Committee Report: Ms. Younkle stated that there was nothing to add that was not included in their committee report. Mr. Crabb stated that the allocations have already been highlighted. During the year, MUBA has raised money and been able to help the Union in a variety of ways. The projects and commitments are listed in the meeting packet. It was noted that the finance committee will be tapping into unrestricted funds on deposit at the UW foundation. The unrestricted funds are needed to support a particular project. The funds report will be available June 30. Finances of Wisconsin Union: Mr. Walter introduced this topic with the mention of two big items: the Memorial Union has been surrounded by construction. The Lake Shore Path was closed, library mall has been closed off, Langdon has been closed off (meaning no bus stop at the union), the Theater has been shut down, Hoofers has been shut down, the Craftshop has been shut down, and the construction has also impacted the availability of meeting rooms which has had an effect on catering. Park Street was also closed north and south of Langdon because of utility work. In short, the Union became a messy dead end to get to. This has created a dramatic downturn in traffic, sales and ATM use. In addition to this, the unfortunate spring weather has not helped. This has been the wettest spring on record and the latest date on record to break 70 degrees, which means that the Terrace has suffered significantly. Mr. Crabb noted that because Memorial Union is no longer on the way to anywhere, individuals only come here if they are making a point to come here. Mr. Haupt asked if College Library traffic is down. Mr. Walter stated that while he is not sure about College Library traffic, sales at the open book café in College Library have gone up. Mr. Walter went on to say that sales at Union South have helped the drop in Memorial Union sales quite a bit, however it does not balance out entirely.
Page 9 of 11
Ms. Prisland asked when the construction surrounding Memorial Union would be ending; Mr. Walter said that if it stays on schedule, it will be complete at the end of summer. He went onto say that the Union is approaching this as a 15 month issue. In 15 months, phase one will be completed and other construction programs will be done. He noted that they have built in coverage for phase two, so this will not be a long term issue. Mr. Walter stated that there is no reserve fund, but there is a cash balance which fluctuates greatly throughout the year. The Union has frozen 10 positions in dining and facilities, cut back on training, travel, capital equipment and projects. Professional development has been cut back but not eliminated. Mr. Walter stated that these circumstances are sobering, but he and his team are working hard to smooth it out. The square footage of the terrace is smaller, but it will gradually open up over the next few weeks, weather permitting. Ms. Brown asked if there was a contingency plan in the case that things do not turn around. Mr. Walter stated that he would project that freezing the 10 positions, and some other cuts would more than cover the losses if sales go back to normal. He noted that they will look at every vacancy and hold off on hiring. He also mentioned that there is about $600,000 to reallocate if need be. Ms. Montgomery asked if the state’s latest activities regarding tuition freezes will have an impact on the reserves. Mr. Walter stated that the latest activities do not indicate including any funds in auxiliaries, so segregated fees will not face a freeze.
Mr. Haupt noted that there will be additional construction on Alumni Park, Library Mall and
State Street, so construction in the area will continue. Mr. Walter noted that phase two, which includes Alumni Park, has $2 million set aside, which he believes will be enough. Library Mall and State Street have approval for planning, but not for construction. Ideally, this construction would happen at the same time as phase two, which is in the hands of the state. Mr. Walter also noted that the State Street project is entirely gift funded which could present additional construction delays. Mr. Cohan asked how much the Union loses per day if there is not a good Friday or Saturday on the Terrace. Mr. Walter stated that seating is not at its full capacity, however they could lose $60,000, or a bit more. Mr. Cohan asked if there are any threshold points in the reserve account. Mr. Walter stated that thresholds have not been specified, but they will fine tune every month. Ms. Brown recommended setting up a plan because things can be ignored on a month to month basis. Ms. Facktor asked if MUBA can help, for example setting up a weatherproof tent on the terrace. Mr. Walter stated that some out of the box thinking does have to be done, which would be a great conversation for Leadership Team or leadership staff to discuss. Ms. Boegel asked if an accounting system can provide enough data to stay ahead of the situation. Mr. Walter said the accounting system is not as up to the minute as it could be, however a point of sale system does give better reports of money coming in. He went on to say that looking at 21st century business programs such as market and data research has been suggested. Ms. Brown stated that revenue is the most important aspect. Membership Committee Report: Lucy Lloyd stated that the Membership Committee, in collaboration with the Executive Committee and Union Council, has passed a joint life membership option in order to appeal new markets. She stated that Ms. Artz and the membership department are working on marketing the new membership. The committee is currently working to strategize untapped markets. Ms. Artz is also working with the committee on promotions for 2014. Ms. Lloyd noted that everyone is doing more for less, and the committee is progressing nicely. Student Programming and Leadership Report: Mr. Haupt stated that the committee is currently working on assistance on the 2014 opening of the West Wing, and they are open to suggestions. The committee is also trying to increase connections between students and Trustees. Mr. Haupt noted that the committee would like to educate WUD about who Trustees are, host an etiquette dinner, and enhance the networking abilities of the students. He suggested that Trustees take a director out to lunch, as well as increasing the use of the resource directory so Trustees can see who the students are, and what their needs are. Mr. Erdman adjourned the meeting at 10:39 am.

Trustee and Student Partnership Opportunities-“Going Beyond Mentoring” Ms. Facktor introduced her film directorate student residency at Sundance Film Festival. She rents out a house in a convenient location for the students to stay for the week. The students write a travel grant to ASM, as well as the Union. The Sundance residency acts as a preview for the next year’s Leadership Team, usually including younger members who will take leadership roles in the future. The students go to as many films as possible, create contacts, and then try to bring the films back to campus. Ms. Facktor suggested that other board members consider their own networks to enhance the Directorate experience. She noted that it is the Trustee’s job to be a safety net, while the students act as leaders. Mr. Yokishami noted that Glenda arranged meetings with several alumni in Utah, as well as in the entertainment business, which served as excellent fundraising opportunities, noting that any trip like this could be used as a development trip. Internship and Employment experiences: Mr. Wessing stated that his company, Kondex, has been using interns for about five years from Michigan Tech, Platteville and MSOE. Each intern has goals and is assigned a mentor who provides them with feedback, and a potential referral. Mr. Wessing recently hired Paul Davidsaver, a former WUD director. He stated that Kondex is hiring more individuals straight out of college because this allows them to develop their values at Kondex. Young graduates also help stir things up in an older work environment. Mr. Wessing stated that it was Paul’s Directorate skills, such as project management, that got him hired. Mr. Kasdorf noted that the importance of the Directorate skills is a very important message for the Trustees and Directorate. Mr. Guevara added that Trustees compete amongst themselves for Directorate students. He also noted that he has made a bridge between a WUD director and one of his customers. Mr. Haupt stated that one of his committee’s goals is to help the students talk to Trustees, and help with their lives after graduation. The committee asked WUD to discuss their needs in order to see if MUBA members can help with those needs. Each student presented their needs and MUBA members volunteered to help those they could. Mr. Pancoe noted that it is difficult to give a recommendation without personally knowing the student. Mr. Haupt stated Susan Dibbell would be happy to talk to anyone who wanted to make a recommendation, and put them into contact with one of the directors. Ms. Weisberg mentioned the possibility of getting to know the officers throughout the year, potentially taking them out for coffee or lunch when the members are in town. Mr. Kasdorf noted that this is not an overly structured program, it could be as simple as giving them a contact, each member can judge what they feel comfortable with. He also noted that speaking with the student’s advisor is a good idea in order to get a frank reaction. Ms. Prisland noted that everything, including the MUBA Mission and Values, is about relationships. She asked the trustees to think of was to take personal action to create relationships with staff and students. Mr. Kasdorf noted that it is helpful when staff steer students towards MUBA members. Ms. Brown suggested that New York City MUBA members create an arts opportunity. Mr. Haupt mentioned that Susan Dibbell can put students in contact with members who have similar career goals. He also suggested that programming staff should get to know MUBA members better in order to make steering students more effective. Mr. Erdman stated that reaching out to a MUBA member can be intimidating for students. He suggested that WUD committee members should arrange the seating at a lunch, or something of that sort, because everything starts with a conversation. Final Comments: Ms. Montgomery stated that the survey would be available during the middle of next week. Mr. Pancoe asked if it would be possible for each person to express an idea about this meeting. Mr. Erdman suggested that this element be incorporated at the next meeting. He went on to say that the next meeting is scheduled November 7-8 and suggested that people make their reservations soon. He mentioned that the new Chancellor, Rebecca Blank begins this July, and they have scheduled a meet the Chancellor event on Thursday, October 10th at 11:30 am in Varsity Hall at Union South. The event is intended to bring the
Page 11 of 11
campus boards together for a luncheon. Mr. Erdman noted that this event is not required; the Executive Committee has already made a commitment to meet that day. He will try to have the new Chancellor address the group at some point. The spring meeting will be held May 1-2, 2014, featuring a similar schedule as this week. The fall 2014 meeting, October 11-12, 2014, will coincide with opening events, as well as the 75th anniversary celebrations of the Theater and Directorate.

MUBA Board Leadership & Governance Draft MUBA Nominations Process Recommendations
Background The subcommittee was charged with two tasks: 1. Review the membership and responsibilities of the Nominating Committee (see relevant
sections of the MUBA Bylaws on pages 9–10) and make recommendations to retain or change the current approach.
2. Review the current nominations processes for new Associate Trustees, Trustees, and Emeritus Trustees; make recommendations to retain or change the current processes to make sure they are fair, uniform, and transparent.
Based on subcommittee members’ experiences and informal input from other MUBA members, these issues surfaced as needing attention:
The current nominations process has not always been uniform or transparent, leading to concerns regarding the credibility of the process.
The nominating process is either not clear, not written down, or not followed consistently.
The Nominating Committee’s charge is not as clear as it needs to be (see Bylaws Article VIII, Section 3). For example, there is no clear direction on what to do when the committee is divided between two nominees for a single position or what to do when the number of nominees is fewer than the number of positions available.
Nominees have not always received rigorous and consistent review. Based on a discussion of these issues, the subcommittee makes these recommendations. Recommendations Note: at the spring 2013 Trustees’ meeting, recommendation 1 was approved. The Bylaws have been updated. Recommendations 2–4 were also approved. The Exec Comm currently asks all committees to develop 5-year committee-specific objectives; these would be reviewed with the Nominating Committee. Recommendation 5 is the next step. 1. Amend the Bylaws to (a) change the number of Nominating Committee members from the
current six to seven: four Trustees and three Associate Trustees and (b) allow the Nominating Committee chair to serve for two years after having been a member for one year.
Bylaws Article II Sections 1 and 2 (approved May 2013) Nominating Committee Section 1. A Nominating Committee shall be comprised of four Trustees and three Associate Trustees, appointed by the MUBA chair for three-year, nonrenewable terms. All Trustees and Associate Trustees shall be eligible to serve as members of the Nominating Committee. The MUBA chair shall designate one of the Trustee appointees who has served one year as a committee member to serve as chair of the committee for up to two years. Section 2. Members of the Nominating Committee shall be divided into three classes (two classes of one Trustee and one Associate Trustee, and one class of two Trustees and one Associate Trustee) with one class appointed each year.
2. Develop an MUBA three- to five-year Strategic Plan. This plan would be developed by the
Executive Committee with support from the standing committees. The strategic plan will be reviewed and updated regularly by the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee will
review the strategic plan and corresponding organizational needs (e.g., diversity, needs across graduation years and parts of the country, past Directorate membership or not) with the Nominating Committee prior to each nominations cycle.
3. The Board Leadership and Governance Committee, in consultation with the current
Nominating Committee, will (a) develop standard forms or charts to be used to nominate and review candidates for MUBA positions and (b) develop additional specifics for the nominations deliberation process (e.g., members review each nominee’s materials independently first and then discuss as a group).
4. The Board Leadership and Governance Committee will developing and deliver Nominating
Committee training, including training for the Nominating Committee chair. 5. Accept the attached document describing the roles and responsibilities of the Nominating
Committee and the nominations processes for various MUBA positions.
Nominating Committee The Nominating Committee is a standing committee of MUBA. This description of the Nominating Committee’s roles and responsibilities and of the nominations processes for various MUBA positions is written assuming that the recommendations listed previously have been adopted.
Membership: The Nominating Committee is composed of seven voting members, four Trustees and three Associate Trustees; the MUBA Executive Secretary (Union Director) serves as a nonvoting member and a resource for the Nominating Committee. The MUBA chair designates one of the Trustee appointees to serve as chair of the committee.
Responsibilities: Nominating Committee members are expected to follow the processes outlined in this document. All Nominating Committee discussions are confidential. Members of the Nominating Committee are expected to review nominee materials fairly and consistently, participate in nominee review and selection meetings, and vote for nominees based on those processes. To avoid tie votes, if an even number of members is present when votes are taken, the Nominating Committee chair does not vote. Only voting members of the Nominating Committee are present during final discussion and voting. Committee members may not nominate, provide references, or be nominees for any position other than re-nomination to a position they already hold during the time they
serve as committee members. If a committee member is up for re-nomination, that member will recuse himself/herself when his/her re-nomination is reviewed.
Administrative Support: The staff liaison to the Nominating Committee (currently Membership Resources Coordinator) is responsible for providing current factual information about nominees for Associate Trustees and Trustees and for those eligible for re-nomination (e.g., involvement in Wisconsin Union and/or MUBA activities, financial support as noted in the Position Descriptions, attendance at meetings, UW connections; see previous information provided for nominees at the end of this document as examples). This information is to be provided to all Nominating Committee members prior to the first meeting in a nominations cycle.
Nominations Process The goal of the nominations process is to identify people who bring skills and expertise needed by MUBA. Selection is based on, but not limited to, MUBA’s mission, vision, values, strategic plan, and current and future needs. In each regular nominations cycle, the Nominating Committee makes recommendations for
new Associate Trustees as needed;
reappointments of current Associate Trustees or Trustees, who are divided into three classes; every two years, one class stands for re-election; and
appointments and reappointments of Executive Committee members, who are divided into three classes; every year, one class stands for re-election.
The Nominating Committee may also make recommendations as needed for new Trustees and new Emeritus Trustees, and for members of the Executive Committee if a midterm vacancy occurs. Overview of Nominations Process (see next pages for detail)

Nominations Process (Details) Planning: March through May
Board Leadership and Governance Committee (1) reviews the composition of MUBA to ensure the organization has the skills, expertise, and interests to meet current and future needs and (2) provides this information to the Executive Committee, which combines this information with other considerations.
MUBA chair appoints Nominating Committee members/chair as needed.
On behalf of the Exec Committee, the MUBA chair meets with the Nominating Committee chair to review Board Leadership and Governance committee information and overall organizational needs (e.g., diversity, needs across graduation years and parts of the country, past Directorate membership or not).
Board Leadership and Governance Committee provides orientation for members of the Nominating Committee.
Nominating Committee reviews current nominating documents for any needed revisions and develops a nominations schedule in consultation with the MUBA chair to be submitted to the Executive Committee for approval. The re-nomination review and nominations schedule can overlap to minimize meetings.
Re-nomination Review: June The Nominating Committee and the Executive Committee need to know how many Associate Trustees or Trustees in the class will be re-nominated that year in order to determine how many open positions there will be. The goal of this process is to encourage ongoing, effective engagement by every Associate Trustee and Trustee—through having position descriptions, easily available lists of expectations, and personal contact by the Nominating Committee. Re-nominations for Executive Committee members follow this same process.
1. The Nominating Committee reviews the list of Associate Trustees or Trustees whose terms are expiring. The staff liaison provides Nominating Committee members with a
spreadsheet of current factual information (e.g., updated information on committee responsibilities, financial support, participation in MUBA and UW programs, meeting attendance). The Nominating Committee reviews all materials, including Resource Directory profiles, of those up for re-nomination.
2. The Nominating Committee arranges to contact those eligible for re-nomination by
phone or in person (not by e-mail). Contact is made by the chair and/or the chair’s designees. Based on the criteria for re-nomination, a conversation is held with the individual about
current involvement in MUBA interest in being re-nominated or moving to Emeritus Trustee or to Associate
Trustee (in the case of Trustees per the Bylaws) Individual goals for the next term in relation to the needs of the organization
3. Once all the contacts are made, the Nominating Committee meets to make re-
nominations decisions. These decisions are based on the information provided from those up for re-nomination, information provided by the staff liaison, the Resource Directory profiles, and consideration of “the entirety of involvement in MUBA” as described in the Position Description. The committee makes its recommendations “with emphasis on participation, membership diversity and Association needs, as well as the individual’s desire to serve” (Bylaws, Article VIII, section 3).
4. The Nominating Committee confirms the number of people to be re-nominated, which
will determine if there are open positions that need to be filled through election that year (e.g., a current Trustee decides to move to Emeritus Trustee, leaving one Trustee position open). The names of those being re-nominated are included on the ballot for all other elections during the cycle. In the event that there are concerns about re-nominating someone, those concerns are referred to the MUBA chair for action.
Nominating Period: July MUBA Trustees and Associate Trustees and Union staff are eligible to make nominations. Depending on the positions to be filled that year, the information provided to the nominators and applicants may vary. However, this process is followed each year. 1. Nominating Committee provides all eligible nominators with access to nominations materials,
including information about the current MUBA Strategic Plan and general needs of the organization for that year, and the appropriate nomination forms.
New Associate Trustees Step 1: Nominators identify potential nominees, considering current and long-term
needs of the organization as developed by the Executive Committee based on the recommendations of the Board Leadership and Governance Committee. Nominators submit nomination forms but do not contact potential nominees at this time.
Step 2: The staff liaison prepares a chart of factual information about all nominees and copies all application materials for use by the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee reviews all the nominations, determines the potential nominees to move forward, notifies all nominators of the results (i.e., your nominee is/is not still in the group being considered for nomination), and asks nominators of those still being considered to contact their nominees about the next steps.
Step 3: Nominators contact potential nominees, explaining the expectations, responsibilities, and rewards of MUBA service. Those making the contacts explain that there are no guarantees: Nominating Committee decisions are made after a review of all nominees and the organization’s needs.
Nominators provide materials to those who are interested in being nominated. These materials, available on the MUBA website for downloading and sharing, include Associate Trustee and Trustee position descriptions, Bylaws, MUBA background, Wisconsin Union information, and application materials.
Step 4: Nominees complete application materials: biographical information and short responses to two questions: Why are you interested in being considered for nomination to MUBA? What will you bring to MUBA? Nominees may supply up to two letters of reference. A form is provided for references so that those writing the letters know what to discuss and how to submit the letter.
New Trustees/New Executive Committee Members Step 1: Nominators consider potential nominees, considering current and long-term
needs of the organization as developed by the Executive Committee based on the recommendations of the Board Leadership and Governance Committee. Nominators are encouraged to review the Resource Directory profiles of potential nominees. Self-nomination is not used. Nominators submit nomination forms but do not contact potential nominees at this time.
Step 2: The staff liaison prepares a chart of factual information about all nominees and copies all application materials for use by the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee reviews all the nominations, determines the potential nominees to move forward, notifies all nominators of the results (i.e., your nominee is/is not still in the group being considered for nomination), and asks nominators of those still being considered to contact their nominees about the next steps.
Step 3: Nominators contact potential nominees, explaining the expectations, responsibilities, and rewards of Trustee/Executive Committee service. Those making the contacts explain that there are no guarantees: Nominating Committee decisions are made after a review of all nominees and the organization’s needs.
Nominators provide materials to those who are interested in being nominated. These materials, available on the MUBA website for downloading and sharing, include position descriptions, Bylaws, MUBA background, Wisconsin Union information, and application materials.
Step 4: Nominees complete application materials: biographical information and short responses to two questions: Why are you interested in being considered for nomination as a Trustee/Executive Committee member? What will you bring to the role of Trustee/Executive Committee member? Nominees may supply up to two letters of reference. A form is provided for references so that those writing the letters know what to discuss and how to submit the letter.
Nominating Committee Deliberations: August 1. Prior to the Nominating Committee meeting, the chair reviews the process members will
follow. Members receive copies of all nominees’ materials.
For new Associate Trustee nominees, the Nominating Committee uses the application materials (biographical information form and responses to two questions), letters of reference, and spreadsheet of factual information provided by the staff liaison. For new Trustees/Exec Com members nominees, the Nominating Committee uses the application materials (biographical information form and responses to two questions), letters of reference, Resource Directory profiles, and spreadsheet of factual information provided by the staff liaison.
2. Nominating Committee members use the nominee review chart to rate nominee submissions and to serve as a basis for discussion. All nominees are evaluated using the same criteria and process. There is no requirement to fill all open positions.
3. The Nominating Committee chair or designated appointee is responsible for contacting nominators and nominees in person or by phone (not e-mail) to let them know if a nominee has been nominated or not. Those who are not nominated that time are asked if they would like their names to be kept on file for future years’ nomination cycles or if they are interested in other facets of Union or MUBA involvement (e.g., committee/club membership, hosting local Union family gatherings).
4. The Nominating Committee chair reports results to the MUBA Executive Committee and makes arrangements for mail or e-mail ballots to be prepared. Voting: September
The staff liaison prepares and provides ballots to MUBA members as indicated in the Bylaws.
Union staff receive and tabulate the ballots in coordination with the Nominating Committee Chair.
After the election, the Nominating Committee and Executive Secretary or designee contacts those selected and their nominators to let them know the results; the Nominating Committee contacts those not selected to thank them for their interest and encourage their involvement in other phases of MUBA and Union activities.
Installation of New Members: October
New Associate Trustees attend the Annual Meeting, receive introductory training, and are welcomed to MUBA.
New Trustees, Emeritus Trustees, and Executive Committee members are recognized at the Annual Meeting.
Executive Committee Mid-Term Vacancies According to the Bylaws (Article VI, section 4), “in the event of a vacancy on the Executive Committee, such vacancy shall be filled by appointment of the Board of Trustees to fill an unexpired term, subject to confirmation by the Trustees and Associate Trustees at the next annual meeting of the Association.”
1. The MUBA chair notifies the chair of the Nominating Committee that there is a vacancy on the Executive Committee. The Nominating Committee chair works with the MUBA chair to establish a schedule for filling the vacancy and lets the organization know there is a vacancy. Union Trustees and Associate Trustees and Union staff are eligible to make nominations.
2. The nominations and deliberations processes described earlier are followed although the
timing is as quick as practical. 3. The Nominating Committee provides its recommendation to the Trustees, who vote on
the recommendation. Assuming the recommendation is accepted, the appointment is made subject to confirmation as indicated in the Bylaws.
Emeritus Trustees
Based on the Bylaws, Article VII, section 1, Trustees and Associate Trustees who resign their positions after many years of good service may request to move to an emeritus role. This can be done at any time during the year and does not have to fall within the annual nominations cycle.
The Nominating Committee reviews the request and makes the nomination to the Board of Trustees. Emeritus status is conferred by a vote of the Trustees.

Development Committee Report Spring 2014
Board Giving In November, the development committee met to establish our priorities. One of the top priorities established was achieving 100% board giving. Ruth Brown and Carol Hillman lead the effort with an email campaign encouraging fellow board members to give. Although we did not achieve our goal of 100% we made great strides toward achieving that goal. There are over 90 active members of MUBA (this number does not include members that stepped down in 2013 or Emeritus Trustees.) Of those 90 MUBA members, 70 gave to the Union in 2013.
2013 breakdown of board giving: Trustees: 96% - $112,939 Associate Trustees: 71% - $163,881 Emeritus Trustees: 40% - $20,097 Total: $296,917
2012 breakdown of board giving: Trustees: 75% - $36,084 Associate Trustees: 55% - $98,437 Emeritus Trustees: 65% - $15,121 Total: $149,642
We are encouraged by the increase in board giving from 2012 to 2013 and hope we can get closer to our goal in 2014. Name a Seat Campaign The Name a Seat Campaign launched in August of 2013. Since that time 69 seats have been sold. There are 15 seats in progress which means that plaque language has been completed but the gift has not been processed. The campaign has raised a total of $71,470.28. The Theater has increased advertising on campus to encourage faculty and staff to dedicate their seats in time for the Theater reopening. The goal of the committee was to reach 200 named seats by the time the Theater reopens in August. As we work to achieve our goal of 100% MUBA giving, the Name a Seat campaign is an excellent way to give your annual gift to the Union and have permanent recognition of that gift with a seat plaque. Seats are available at $500, $1000 and $2500. Plaque inscriptions need to be in by May in order to be placed in time for the reopening of the Theater. The campaign will continue until all seats are sold.
Hoofers Facilities Campaign The Hoofers Facilities Campaign was launched in August of 2013 around the same time as the Name a Seat Campaign. While most of these donors do not cross over, there are a number of people who split their gifts last year. As of March 2013, the campaign has raised $80,515.86. This amount provides enough money to finish the galley kitchen and start a contingency fund for the Hoofers stables. With the smaller projects funded, Hoofers has directed their attention toward raising money for new piers and expanding the Hoofer fleet. Wisconsin Union Annual Campaign The strategy behind the annual campaign this year was to focus on the priorities of the Union which are raising money for the building fund and raising discretionary dollars that can be used to meet the greatest needs of the Union. We separated the solicitation from the year end annual and mailed to a test group of Union member non-donors to expand our donor base. 2013 total amount raised: $46,073 Annual fund: $12,788 Building fund: $33,285 Share the Wonderful gifts: $5,689 2012 total amount raised: $17,607 Share the Wonderful: $7500 Family Thank You Notes Pam Garvey, Sheryl Facktor, Susan Sell and Carol Falk have been writing thank you notes for gifts from Union family. For this purpose, Union family is defined as former WUD students, former Union staff and current and former MUBA. At the April Development Committee meeting the committee discussed how we could send more personal notes to family who have given more substantial gifts. It came to our attention that all gifts over $250 were receiving three acknowledgments – a receipt and note from the UW Foundation, a personal note from Mark/Union staff, and the MUBA thank you note. The committee decided that the group would only send notes to MUBA family who have given gifts of $1000 or more. This will reduce the number of notes written annually and will hopefully allow the writers to craft more meaningful messages.

TO: MUBA Trustees FROM: Susie Younkle, Finance Committee Chair RE: MUBA Finance Committee Report DATE: April 21, 2014 Here’s an update on items addressed by the MUBA Finance Committee since last fall. Actions Taken at November 8, 2013 Finance Committee Meeting: *Approved $25,000 from MUBA unrestricted funds to support the May 2014 Reverly program. The finance committee views this as seed funding for a relatively new program that affords leadership opportunities for students. Given other MUBA financial commitments and the need for Reverlry to find additional funding sources, the finance committee expects MUBA’s financial support for this program to decrease in future years. Actions Taken at January 6, 2014 Finance Committee Meeting: *At the request of Union staff, finance committee members discussed whether any MUBA funds should be used in support of Yo‐Yo Ma tickets for Trustees/Associate Trustees/Emeritus Trustees for the grand re‐opening of the Union Theater. A brief discussion resulted in a unanimous view that tickets are the responsibility of individuals and that MUBA should not financially support tickets for board members. *The committee reviewed a variety of requests from the Wisconsin Union for West Wing signage and program support for re‐opening events. The finance committee approved up to $60,000 to be used as follows: $30,000 Signature signage, designed by WU staff (not Zebra Dog Studios)
$25,000 Project Bandaloop aerial dance performance $5,000 Union Family Reunion
MUBA/Hoofer Stable Memorandum of Understanding Committee: Finance committee representatives (Juli Aulik, Tom Smith, and Hank Walter) have been holding regular meetings with Susan Dibbell and Hoofer Equestrian Center/Riding Club leaders over the last 6 months to develop a Memorandum of Understanding between MUBA and the Riding Club to address issues such as a revised mortgage repayment plan and establishment of a capital improvement fund. At its spring meeting, the finance committee will receive a report on the Hoofer Stable MOA committee’s progress. Financial Results: See MUBA’s financial statements and notes to the financial statements for detailed information about preliminary financial results for the 9 month period ended March 30, 2014. Additionally, the finance committee receives quarterly reports of fund performance at UW Foundation. Let me know if you’d like a copy of the most recent report. Feel free to contact me at [email protected] with any questions.
MEMORIAL UNION BUILDING ASSOCIATION
Report of the Treasurer
April 23, 2014 The financial report for the Memorial Union Building Association for the period July 1, 2013 - March 31, 2014, is attached. Please keep in mind that the major portion of AMembership Revenue@ (upwards of $100,000) is received during the final three months of the fiscal year. INCOME STATEMENT (Schedule A)
$ AMembership@ revenue is up $15,400 for the period. This increase is due
to the introduction of a new Ajoint membership@ offering to life members. This program resulted in a gain of 310 new AJoint Life Members@
$ Life membership sales to graduating seniors is down from 930 to 775, a
decrease of 155. This is not surprising as construction activity in and around the Memorial Union significantly reduced access to the building throughout the year.
$ New Board approved projects during the first nine months totaled

FINANCIAL NOTE H- 1 -
Notes to the March 2014 Financial Statements of the
MEMORIAL UNION BUILDING ASSOCIATION
04/19/14
The following notes are provided to supplement the March 2014 financial report of the Memorial Union Building Association (MUBA), which follows a modified cash method of accounting. All financial statements reflect the auditor’s opinion that funds held by the UW Foundation no longer be included in MUBA’s financial statements. Rather, these funds will be reported in the financial statements of the UW Foundation. The uncommitted earnings (loss) shown on the income statement reflects the recognition of all income received, expenses incurred, as well as any restrictions against income and expense designated by MUBA. Uncommitted earnings (loss) represent an increase or reduction in accumulated funds available for new commitments. This report highlights significant revenue sources and expenditures during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
INCOME STATEMENT
REVENUE
1. Membership Revenue $113,336
Life membership sales revenue had increased by $15,397 through March of this fiscal year as compared to March of last year. This is largely due to the introduction of Joint-Life Memberships at $55. A special Joint-Life Membership promotion to all current life members led to a sharp increase in sales in November to December 2013. On the other hand, Life Membership sales to graduating students were down by 155 memberships. This is largely the result of construction in and around the Memorial Union. The following is a breakdown of the number of life membership sold according to their respective category:
2012-13 2013-14 Graduating students within first year 930 775 Recent graduates within two to five years 98 108 Emeritus life memberships 36 54 Single payment memberships 83 85 Annual members as final payment toward life 97 84 Joint membership 0 310 Promotional give-a-ways/misc 17 2 1,261 1,418

MEMBERSHIP REPORT Spring 2014
Update from the membership program: Sales snapshot Life membership sales for the first half of the fiscal year are up roughly $15,500 from last year due in large part to a special joint life email campaign we executed last winter. Year to date, we have sold just over 300 joint life memberships, which proves it is a healthy new revenue stream to add to our membership mix. Annual membership revenue is also up approximately $6500 year to date compared to last year. This increase can be attributed to additional corporate membership sales throughout the year. In general, we anticipated membership sales would trend downward in line with overall Memorial Union traffic and unit revenue during construction. To make up for some of these lost sales, we had planned to focus on pushing additional revenue streams like joint life and corporate membership. These tactics have proven successful to help bridge sales during this down time. The majority of our membership sales traditionally occur in the late spring and summer months as graduation happens and the Terrace season picks up. Although we anticipate we will gain a strong amount of membership sales during this time, we also believe there will continue to be a decline in traditional sales until the construction project is complete. Sales will pick up slightly when the west wing re-opens. Additionally, we are timing the launch of a new member advantage program with the completion of phase two, which provides a tremendous opportunity to run membership specials and execute an awareness campaign. Current initiatives: Member value project: We continue to explore how to evolve into a twenty-first century membership program that is relevant, valuable, and better aligned with our mission as an organization. This is a comprehensive project that examines value across all units. Advancing Badger Engagement (ABE) integrated database: We are nearing crunch time to finalize the transition of our membership data into the new integrated alumni and donor customer relationship management database. This project is spearheaded by UW Foundation and Wisconsin Alumni Association and we are excited to be representing the University in the first phase of this project. We look forward to having a more streamlined and sophisticated system that provides a 360 degree view of our members, donors, and friends. Anticipated launch date is September 2014. Corporate membership: We are working on a proposal to take the corporate membership program from a pilot to a permanent program. Following approval of the permanent program will be a marketing campaign to increase the number of corporate members. Updates from the MUBA membership committee: Recent accomplishments: Joint life membership: The committee collaborated with member relations department and members from MUBA exec to develop recommendations on adding a joint life option to the life membership
program. The proposal was approved and joint life membership is now available for spouses or partners of life members. The membership program office will execute another Joint Life campaign in the winter of 2014 and will roll promotional campaigns into its regular marketing cycle. Tax deductibility of life memberships: With the help of David Cross, the member relations department determined that life memberships can be tax deductible under current tax law. The committee approved the final verbiage that will now be used on membership materials, web pages, and in responding to customer inquiries. Current projects: Student employee membership recognition program: Now that the program has been in place for four semesters, the committee is reviewing a report from the membership program analyzing sales and process data. The committee will continue this work and make recommendations for improvement in fall 2014. New grad membership rate increase: The committee explored historical rate change data for the new grad category and has developed a recommendation to increase the rate to $75 beginning with the May 2015 class. Proposal will be voted on at this spring MUBA meeting.

Student Programs & Leadership Agenda
Chair: Jeff Haupt
1. Discussion of WUD reunion opportunities.
2. Review of 5 year goals.
3. Revelry Update discussion of plans for next year (Can Josh or anyone involved with Revelry join our meeting?)
4. Review ideas for how to link students to Trustees.
MUBA Program & Leadership Sub-committee meeting March 25, 2014
Present: Scott Fredrick, Brent Helt, Bill Kasdorf, Darren DeMatoff, Christian Krautkramer, Judy Labiner-Wolfe, Jeff Haupt and Susan Dibbell.
1. Welcome & Introductions 2. Jeff announced that Shayna Hetzel will co-chair this committee but she is unable to join us
today. Shayna lives in town and is a new Associate Trustee. 3. Started the meeting with a discussion about the MUBA resource directory. Jeff asked the group
their thoughts on moving the directory to LinkedIn. The benefits are that it allows for ongoing connections—beyond the time that the students are on Directorate. It is also a broader network and allows you to see other connections. It is a proactive medium and the students are accustomed to using it. The only reason not to move to LinkedIn is that not everyone on MUBA uses it. Jeff suggested using an upcoming meeting to help members of MUBA develop their own profile. Committee agreed that this does not need to be an either/or decision. MUBA needs to discuss—it is their decision.
4. Susan provided an update on the fall WUD Reunion. It is scheduled for October 17-18, 2014 and coincides with the fall MUBA meeting. This year’s reunion will celebrate the 75th anniversary of Wisconsin Union Directorate and the Union Theater as well as the re-opening of the West Wing of Memorial Union. Events begin on Friday evening and will end with a performance by Yo-Yo Ma on Saturday night (separate ticket required). There is a draft schedule on the Union’s website union.wisc.edu/wufamilyweekend. There is also a Facebook group WUD Reunion—please join. Finally, a survey has been posted on the Facebook page asking for feedback on the past reunion and ideas for this year’s event. Jeff asked if there was a way to get Yo-Yo Ma to do a short concert on the Terrace some time prior to his show. Jeff will follow up on this idea.
5. We have been asked to develop a recommendation for on-going reunions. Mark Guthier would like reunions to be held every 2-5 years. Jeff asked the group to discuss options for future reunions: • Will attend if you know there will be others at the event that you know • Need alumni to help recruit members to attend. • Should focus be on committees or on years/decades? • Should there be a theme? • Should we rotate between the seasons—one year in the fall, the next in the spring? • Every 5 years feels too long, but does make them feel special and are more like what people
are accustomed to. • Every 2-3 years—too often. Do we have the capacity to do them this often? • What about bringing back a perform from a particular era to perform such as the Indigo
Girls?
6. Late Night Options – Jeff asked the group to think about what we can do to help make the Union a late night destination? • What do current students do? • What is the Union’s competition? • Is there interest by students to do late night programming • Is there something we could create that becomes our late night brand? Something we are
known for. • Could MUBA provide assistance from their own experiences? • Do we need to push the students a bit—challenge them? • Should this be a discussion at the fall meeting? • Need students involved.
Meeting adjourned at 4pm.
