FYI: Updates from the Executive Council and other news of note

 

 
   
  • Do not forget to complete the mandatory Vector trainings by June 30: To remain in compliance with state and federal requirements, the college provides online trainings for all employees to complete on a regular basis. All FA members, full time and adjunct, classroom and nonclassroom, no matter your job title, must complete the trainings. If you have not yet done so, make a note now to be sure to meet the June 30 deadline!

  • FA retirement workshop to be held in fall: The FA typically hosts a retirement workshop for members each spring, hosted by Gerry McGahran of Stacey Braun Associates, Mary Kaffaga of the Benefit Fund and EMHP representatives. Given the popularity of last fall’s workshop, we will be hosting it again this fall in collaboration with the Guild. Watch your email for announcement of the date and time.

  • FA and Benefit Fund summer hours: The FA office and the Benefit Fund will be open this summer but closed on Fridays. Given their various vacation days, it’s always wise to email or call Anita (anita@fascc.org, 631-451-4151) or Mary (mary@fascc.org, 631-451-4323) before you swing by.
