ThankThank YouYou

To our Association Leadership,

Since 1853, the Mizzou Alumni Association has carried the torch of alumni support for the University of Missouri. From our fi rst president, Gen. Odon Guitar, until today we have been blessed with extraordinary volunteer leadership. Thanks in large part to that leadership, the Association has been a proud and prominent resource for the University and its alumni for 155 years.

This resource guide is the product of our commitment to communicate effi ciently and effectively with our volunteer leaders. We are hopeful the enclosed information is a useful tool for you as you serve on our Governing Board. It is critical that you know and share the story of how the Association proudly serves the best interests and traditions of Missouri’s fl agship university.

We are proud to serve a worldwide network of 250,000 Mizzou alumni. Your volunteer leadership represents a portion of our diverse, vibrant and loyal membership base. While Mizzou has many cherished traditions, the tradition of alumni support is one that we foster by our actions and commitment to the Asso- ciation and the University.

Thank you for your selfl ess service to MU and the Association. With your involvement and engage- ment, I am confi dent we will reach our vision of becoming the preeminent resource for the University of Missouri. Our staff and I look forward to working with you in 2008 - 2009.

Go Mizzou!

On the occasion of the MU Alumni Association’s sesquicentennial (that’s 150 years, for those who don’t speak Latin), the association asked a researcher to dig up its history. The story is one of loyal alumni and citizens acting on behalf of Mizzou. (Perhaps what says it best is the legend of how alumni and locals saw to it that the Columns became Mizzou’s foremost campus icon.) As part of the sesquicentennial celebration, the Association adopted a new brand - The Mizzou Alumni Association. Keep your hands off these Columns he Mizzou Alumni Association was founded in 1853, but perhaps the best story that encapsulates its meaning to MU comes from a tenuous time in the University’s history. It’s the story of loyal alumni Tand citizens acting on behalf of Mizzou and how the Alumni Association saw to it that the Columns became Mizzou’s foremost campus icon. The inferno that consumed Academic Hall in 1892 somehow spared the six limestone Columns. To many alumni and Columbians at the time, they quickly became an enduring symbol of all they held dear about the University. But to others, including the University’s Board of Curators, the Columns looked out of scale with the new University buildings they hoped to construct around them. They resolved that the Columns would have to come down. Few people now know – perhaps because it weakens the legend – that the board originally intended to leave the Columns in place or reposition them on campus. But the board changed its mind, and some alumni and locals didn’t like it. Among them was Jerry Dorsey, a leading Columbia citizen of that period. According to a newspaper report, Dorsey watched with interest as workers carried off the chard remnants of Academic Hall. He was appalled to learn one day that Gideon Rothwell, president of the board, had ordered a pair of mule teams hitched to one of the Columns, with instructions to tear it down. “Mr. Dorsey sought Mr. Rothwell and protested against the destruction of the Columns, who insisted that they were a menace and dangerous,” according to the newspaper account. “Mr. Dorsey declared that the Columns could not be pulled down by a herd of elephants, whereupon Mr. Rothwell announced that they were coming down if he had to dynamite them. The argument became heated, Mr. Rothwell struck at Mr. Dorsey and Mr. Dorsey upheld his Kentucky traditions and returned the blow. Spectators separated the combatants and the controversy continued in a battle of words.” At this point, Dorsey may have charged off to the courthouse to get a writ of injunction against tear- ing down the Columns. But writ or no writ, alumni got wind of the board’s plot and added their voices of protest. In fact, the president of the Mizzou Alumni Association (MAA) Gardiner Lathrop, made a persuasive speech to the curators, according to a story that engineering Professor Luther “Daddy” Defoe (association president in 1903-04) used to tell. A 1924 account goes like this: “Following a brilliant plea before the board, during which Lathrop pleaded with tears in his eyes that the Columns be preserved intact, a plan was presented that the whole of the elevated campus (now Francis Quadrangle) be cut away, except for a small tract around the Columns, which should be terraced into mounds, to rise above the level of the campus.” This time around, the board resolved that its previous resolution was a bad idea. After Lathrop’s speech, Mr. Rothwell stated “Let the Columns stand. Let them stand for a thousand years.” In many ways, imagining Mizzou without its beloved Columns is like trying to imagine a strong university without alumni support. It is only fi tting that more than 100 years later, the MAA Long Range Planning Committee penned a mission statement that begins with “The Mizzou Alumni Association proudly supports the best interests and traditions of Missouri’s fl agship university and its alumni worldwide.” Mizzou and MAA: Through the Years...

Conﬂ ict of Interest Policy ARTICLE I: PURPOSE

The purpose of the confl ict of interest policy is to protect the University of Missouri Alumni Association (“As- sociation”) when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefi t the private interest of an offi cer or director of the Association. This policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state laws governing confl ict of interest applicable to non-profi t and charitable Associations.

ARTICLE II: DEFINITIONS

1. INTERESTED PERSON Any director, principal offi cer or member of a committee of the Association with powers delegated by the Governing Board of the Association, who has a direct or indirect fi nancial interest, as defi ned below, is an interested person.

2. FINANCIAL INTEREST A person has a fi nancial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment or family

a. an ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the Association has a transaction or arrangement, or

b. a compensation arrangement with the Association or with any entity or individual with which the As- sociation has a transaction or arrangement, or

c. a potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which the Association is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.

3. FAMILY Family shall mean an individual’s spouse, parents, brother, sister, child, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother- in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law and daughter-in-law.

5. COMPENSATION Compensation includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are substantial in nature.

A fi nancial interest is not necessarily a confl ict of interest. Under Article III, Section 2, a person who has a fi nancial interest will be determined to have a confl ict of interest if the Association’s Board of Directors or appropriate committee decides that a confl ict of interest exists.

ARTICLE III: PROCEDURES

1. DUTY TO DISCLOSE In connection with any actual or possible confl ict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of his or her fi nancial interest AND ALL MATERIAL FACTS to the directors and members of committees with Board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. 2. DETERMINING WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS

After disclosure of the fi nancial interest AND ALL MATERIAL FACTS, AND AFTER ANY DISCUSSION WITH the interested person, HE OR SHE shall leave the Board or committee meeting while the DETER- MINATION OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST is discussed and voted upon. The remaining Board or committee members shall decide if a confl ict of interest exists.

3. PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST

a. An interested person may make a presentation at the Board or committee meeting, but after such a presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or the arrangement that is the subject of the potential confl ict of interest.

b. The chairperson of the Board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement.

c. After exercising due diligence, the Board or committee shall determine whether the Association can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a confl ict of interest.

d. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a confl ict of interest, the Board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Association’s best interest and for its own benefi t and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Association, and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination.

4. VIOLATIONS OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY

a. If the Board or committee has reasonable cause to believe that a member has failed to disclose actual or possible confl icts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such a belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose.

b. If, after hearing the response of the member and making such further investigation as may be war- ranted in the circumstances, the Board or committee determines that the member has in fact failed to disclose an actual or possible confl ict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.

ARTICLE IV: RECORDS AND PROCEEDINGS

The minutes of the Governing Board and all committees with Board-delegated powers shall contain:

1. The names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a fi nancial interest in connection with an actual or possible confl ict of interest, the nature of the fi nancial interest was present, and the Board’s or committee’s decision as to whether a confl ict of interest existed.

Offi ce of the Chancellor Brady J. Deaton 105 Jesse Hall Columbia, MO 65211

Chancellor Brady J. Deaton became the 21st chief executive offi cer of the University of Missouri-Columbia on October 4, 2004. With 15 years of service to MU and 33 years of experience in public higher education, Dr. Deaton brings an international perspective, a record of national leadership, and a strong devotion to Mizzou to his new position.

Dr. Deaton began his journey in higher education as a student at the University of Kentucky, where he graduated with a degree in agricultural economics in 1966. Growing up as the second of nine children of a hard- working farm family in Kentucky and furthered by his participation in 4-H, he developed a love of the land and a desire to study agriculture. His dedication deepened during a two-year tour as a Peace Corps volunteer in Nan, Thailand, from 1962-1964, where he taught vocational agriculture in the Thai language.

After receiving his bachelor’s degree, Dr. Deaton pursued a master of arts in diplomacy and international commerce at the University of Kentucky, graduating in 1968. He went on to the University of Wisconsin where he earned a master of science in 1970 and a doctorate in 1972 in agricultural economics.

Moving from the student to the faculty ranks, Dr. Deaton spent the next six years as an assistant and associate professor of agricultural economics and rural sociology at the University of Tennessee. During this time at Tennessee, he was appointed as staff director of the Special Task Force on Food for Peace for the U.S. De- partment of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. In 1978, Dr. Deaton took a professorship position at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in the Department of Agricultural Economics, where he also served as coordinator of the rural development research and extension program.

Dr. Deaton spent 12 years at Virginia Tech, the last four as associate director of the Offi ce for International Development. In March of 1989, he joined the University of Missouri-Columbia as professor and chair in the Agricultural Economics Department and as Social Science Unit leader. He transitioned from faculty to administration in December 1993, when he was appointed chief of staff in the Offi ce of the Chancellor. He became deputy chancellor in 1997.

In January 1998, Dr. Deaton was appointed interim provost and was named to the permanent position in October of that year. His duties were expanded in 2001 when he also became the executive vice chancellor for academic affairs. A strong proponent of the University’s role on the global stage, Dr. Deaton was instrumental as the sponsor of the Big 12 Provosts’ delegation to the European Union.

Dr. Deaton holds leadership roles in many university, community and national organizations. He served as chair of the Academic Affairs Council of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Col- leges (NASULGC), participates in advisory roles with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and maintains active membership in the American and International Agricultural Economics Associations. He has authored over 100 articles, presentations and book chapters in his career in addition to co-authoring three books.

For his contributions to the University, Dr. Deaton has been the recipient of many honors. He has been awarded the Outstanding Commitment to Multiculturalism and Diversity certifi cate by the Association of Black Graduate and Professional Students, honored as an invited lecturer at the Japan International Agricul- tural Council and recognized by Gamma Sigma Delta with an Award of Merit for Outstanding Administra- tor. Most recently, he received the Malone Award from NASULGC for furthering international education in public higher education.

Chancellor Deaton and his wife, Dr. Anne Deaton, are the parents of four grown children, Tony, Brady Jr., Christina and David, and are the grandparents of Liam, Anna Sophia, William Brady and David Paxton. University of Missouri - MU
