While the HCU Retirees Association serves primarily as a social organization, from time to time a project or cause is brought to the attention of the Executive Committee who votes to share the opportunity with the Association.聽 Given the University provides a partial operation budget each year, the Association will use accumulated dues payments to cover the support of these projects.

Past projects include:

• Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund for HCU Employees
• Husky Veterans Association Lounge
• Music Department Spring Tour
• Tutor Training, Academic Support and Resources

In a meeting of the Faculty Assembly in 1999, a proposal was presented by Assembly
President Rhonda Furr to consider forming an organization for retired faculty and staff.
The proposal was accepted and a faculty committee appointed to consider this possibility.
The committee consisted of Chair Sebron Williams, Jim Taylor, Harold Raley, and Ann
Gebuhr who rendered their report on March 15, 1999. On the basis of this report, a larger
committee was appointed to implement the formation of an organization for faculty and
staff retirees. The members of the Implementation Committee were Chair Jerry Gaultney,
Sebron Williams, Teresa Boyd, Rhonda Furr, Bob Linder, Don Looser, Harold Raley, and
Elysee Peavy. The first meeting was held on June 29, 1999. The committee immediately
sought to obtain information from retired faculty and staff and from members of the
administration to determine interest in such an organization. Based on a favorable response
to this inquiry, the committee collected names and addresses of retired faculty and staff and
selected a name for the organization. A subcommittee began to work on the Constitution
and Bylaws.

The Implementation Committee studied ways in which the organization could be helpful
to its members and to 麻豆视频. Officers were nominated, to be voted
on at the first meeting of the Association. These plans were presented to University
President Hodo and the Faculty Assembly and were approved. The first meeting of the
Association was held on February 16, 2001 with the following officers elected to serve
until September 1, 2002: Robert Linder, Chair; Sebron Williams, Assistant Chair; Barbara
Owens, Secretary-Treasurer; Robert Creech, Member-at- Large; Pauline Wright, Memberat-Large;
and Dick Parker, Liaison Officer. Under the leadership of these officers, a
successful period of organization and growth ensued.

In 2010, a study committee proposed amended By-Laws which would create the office
of Association Historian, redistribute some duties among the elected officers, delete
information no longer correct or valid, and update content to conform with current
University organizational operation. The By-Laws were adopted by the Association on
October 22, 2010. Additional updates and corrections to the By-Laws were presented
to the Association on October 19, 2012 and adopted by the Association on February
22, 2013. These changes include redefining the duties of Hospitality and Membership,
changing their titles from Hospitality Chair and Membership Chair to Hospitality Officer
and Membership Officer. Future changes to the By-Laws will be made when deemed
appropriate by the Administrative Board.

The HCU Retirees Association wishes to thank all those at the University who aided in the
establishment of the Association. In particular, we acknowledge with gratitude our debt
to Dr. E. D. Hodo, Mr. Dick Parker, Dr. Don Looser, Ms. Sharon Saunders, Dr. Rhonda
Furr, and Ms. Teresa Boyd for their ongoing encouragement, support, efforts, and good
will, without which the Association would not now exist. We also thank the members of
the 1999 Faculty Assembly under the presidency of Dr. Rhonda Furr for their unanimous
endorsement of the idea of an organization for retirees, thereby initiating the formation of
the Association.
