Minutes of the proceedings of UUP's Executive Board, the body authorized to carry out policies established by the Delegate Assembly and execute written agreements on behalf of UUP. The Board meetings consist of reports by committee chairpersons and officers and the consideration of a variety of resolutions and motions reflecting a concern with a broad range of institutional, social, and political issues. Lists of committee appointments, committee and task force membership lists, and income and expenditure reports for the union are intermittently included. The Board is required to meet at least four times each year, but from the beginning it has met approximately five to ten times annually. See Subgroup IV Office of the Secretary, Series 1 - Executive Board for correspondence and materials distributed at or relating to Executive Board meetings.
Minutes of the proceedings of the Delegate Assembly, the primary policy-making body of UUP. The minutes reflect the concerns and activities of UUP in the most concise and comprehensive form, because it is in the forum where various chapters from around the state meet to voice local concerns and discuss and vote on policy matters. The Delegate Assembly meets three times during each academic year-Fall, Winter, and Spring.
Correspondence and third-party reports make up the bulk of this series, and some of the materials appear to have been reference files rather than related to matters in which SPA/UUP was directly involved. Other materials, such as correspondence and minutes from meetings of the SUNY Board of Trustees, information on the SUNY budget, or about the SUNY Faculty Senate document the environment in which SPA and UUP were created and in which they negotiated contracts. The same can be said for the materials included in the series relating to New York State United Teachers, which was an influential force in UUP's formative years.
