Administrative Files, 1987-2012

Online

The Administrative Files series (3 linear feet and digital files (online)) is divided into two subseries: Executive Files and Office Files. The executive files subseries contain correspondence and other material created or directed to the office co-coordinator, Billie Edwards, or, after 1994, to the Director, Ronni Sanlo. Sanlo was the first person to hold the position of Director of the office.

The Office Files subseries includes general office correspondence dated circa 1991-2012, staff meeting minutes and agendas, material related to the President's New Century Fund Award for Diversity for work on the "From Invisibility to Inclusion" project, and a number of files related to the Task Force on Sexual Orientation. The task force materials range in date from 1987 to 1991. Note that the James W. Toy papers, boxes 8 and 9, also contains material related to the Task Force on Sexual Orientation.

The 2012 Accession added annual reports, budgets, meeting minutes, photographs, strategic plans, reports, forms, and administrative information from 1991-2012 to the Office Files subseries. Many of the materials are digital files from the Spectrum Center's shared drive. The accession highlights core issues and concerns for the center during this period and also contains information about the 40th Anniversary celebrations.
