Staff Development and Professional Services today (Oct. 18) announced a week's extension for submitting nominations for the UC's 2011 Business Officer Institute. The new deadline, Tuesday, Nov. 1, applies to nominations from the Davis campus.

Each UC unit — including the campuses and medical centers, and Agriculture and Natural Resources — solicits its own nominations. They must come from supervisors.

Eligibility extends to business officers with broad decision-making and/or supervisory responsibility or accountability for academic or administrative department for budget, finance, internal controls, human resources, systems or sponsored projects. Candidates must be classified at the Professional and Support Staff, or Managers and Senior Professionals levels.

The 2011 Business Officer Institute is scheduled from Nov. 28 to Dec. 1 in Irvine.

The Office of the President covers all program and some meal costs (breakfast and lunch), as well as the opening dinner. UCOP does not cover the cost of travel, hotel expenses of $132 per night, parking or dinners on Nov. 29 and 30.

Davis campus nominations should be directed to Marla Dolcini at Staff Development and Professional Services, in person at the Heitman Staff learning Center; or by e-mail, mtdolcini@ucdavis.edu; or fax, (530) 752-4744. The nomination form is available online.
