ARC seeks your input

Over the past year, ANR administrative functions have been redesigned and reorganized with the key objective to better serve our programs and operations. A key strategy in this effort has been to consolidate administrative functions and units to create efficiencies and streamline where possible to save administrative costs. These reorganizations have significantly standardized processes, enhanced internal controls and provided savings—savings that have allowed ANR to reinvest in academic programming and positions that align with ANR’s Strategic Vision.

Now we would like to know how the reorganized administrative functions and units are working for you. ANR’s Administrative Review Council (ARC) has created a short survey focused on the functions of three service units:

• Staff Personnel Unit
• Business Operations Center
• Contracts and Grants Unit

Please complete as many of the questions/sections as possible based on the services that you use from these administrative service units. You may skip questions or an entire section if it does not apply, or you may select “NA” from the drop-down menu.

This survey will take you 5 to 15 minutes to complete. Your feedback is valuable so please include as much candid and constructive information as possible.

Please complete the survey at https://ucce.ucdavis.edu/survey/survey.cfm?surveynumber=6939 by Thursday, November 10, 2011.
