Attached Files:Communication on DIA Taking Over GSA Membership from F&S
Associated Project(s):The following email was sent by Marty Kaufman on Oct 26, 2023:
Hey Jennifer,
I reached out to Tim Knox, and DIA did try to become a member of the Green Sports Alliance in June, but the organization said that the University was already a member so there was no need to submit payment. I see no reason to pay more money if the organization already says we are members. I understand that Athletics isn’t mentioned independently as a member, but since we are part of the University as a whole and the Alliance doesn’t feel we need to have a separate membership, it doesn’t seem fiscally responsible to pay a second membership fee.
Maybe we look at sharing the cost for next fiscal year or at bumping it up to the $2,500 level next year if that provides more benefits? Please see the correspondence from Tim attached.
I welcome your thoughts.
Thank you,
Marty
Jen Fraterrigo responded on Oct 26, 2023:
Hi Marty,
Thanks for looking into this matter. I reached out to Betsy Ligett and she confirmed that F&S paid the membership fee for the Nov. 1st, 2022 - Nov. 30th, 2023 time period. I agree with you about not needing a second membership. However, it would be great for DIA take over the membership starting December 1st, 2023 and pay the membership fees going forward at the level you prefer.
For now, I suggest identifying a new point person at DIA. I would then be happy to facilitate a meeting with Betsy and the DIA POC to get him/her up to speed.
Best,
Jen
Marty Kaufman responded on Nov 21, 2023:
Hi Jen,
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.
Yes, DIA will pay for the renewal. Tim has been in touch with the Green Alliance and we will coordinate the payment for next year.
Happy to help.
Thanks,
Marty

Attached Files:LW003 Certified Green Building Certification - Declined
Associated Project(s):The LW003 Certified Green Building Certification was declined and returned to the team on April 16, 2022 with the following message.
================
Hello Land and Water iCAP Team,
Thank you for your continued efforts toward making our campus more sustainable and advocating for the iCAP 2020 objectives for Land and Water! The attached recommendation (LW003 Certified Green Building Certification) has been declined by the iCAP Working Group (iWG). The iWG reviewed this recommendation in the April 2021 and May 2021 meetings and determined it would be better to consider an awards program, preferably for individual efforts rather than buildings.
As your team suggested, I’ll share this information with the Engagement iCAP Team, so they can consider a related recommendation for an awards program.
Thanks,
Morgan===============
