On April 18, 2009, the UIMA invited donors and interested members of the public and UI community to a attend a “Conversation” about the UIMA with UI President Sally Mason, Executive Vice President and Provost Wallace Loh, Senior Vice President and University Treasurer Doug True, and UI Foundation President and CEO Lynette Marshall.
At that event, President Mason announced that she will appoint representatives from the Museum’s core constituent groups—faculty, Museum donors, volunteers, staff, and students—to serve on a UIMA Envisioning Committee. The group's members will serve a crucial role in assisting the administration as they decide the future of the Museum. Among other tasks, they will be charged with researching university art museum best practices, location opportunities, relationships between the Museum and other parts of the University, and outreach possibilities throughout the state. The committee will also solicit feedback and ideas from the greater community.
