After extensive due diligence, we are pleased to announce the introduction of a new group long term care insurance program through Genworth Life Insurance Company. This program is available to colleges and universities through AAICU’s membership in the Coalition for College Cost Savings (CCCS). Including group long term care insurance in your existing benefits package is a simple, high impact addition that employees value...yet few small schools are able to negotiate alone. Now, all members can offer the advantage of group rates, rate guarantees and simplified underwriting to their employees and family members. We would like to introduce this important new employee benefit to member CFOs, HR Directors, Benefit Administrators and staff. Please join us for a 1 hour webinar to learn more about:

Microsoft Webinar Annoucement

Carol Vucovich - Wednesday, July 06, 2011

AAICU members have an opportunity to leverage their combined buying power for Microsoft software in a new way!  Based on the positive response from the Spring survey, the Alabama Association of Independent Colleges and Universities is able to officially announce open enrollment for the first ever Consolidated Microsoft EES for AAICU.

Please plan to join AAICU and ScholarBuys for a webinar scheduled for this Tuesday, July 12th at 2:00pm CST to review the new AAICU Microsoft Enrollment for Education Solutions (EES) Program. 

 

Register online through this link: www.clicktoattend.com/?id=156129   

What is Microsoft EES Agreement?

EES Microsoft is an annual subscription licensing program, which replaced the Campus Enrollment (under the Microsoft Campus and School Agreement) on March 1st, 2011.  Through EES schools license software based on fac/staff FTE count, rather than the # of computers the software is installed on.  Any upgrades or downgrades of those products are included through the term of the subscription.  Microsoft EES is a simple, flexible program that enables you to standardize your software across your campus, keep your technology up-to-date, and annualize your Microsoft budget.  

What is the AAICU Microsoft Consolidated EES? 


The Alabama Association of Independent Colleges and Universities has arranged with ScholarBuys and Microsoft to create an Association-wide EES Agreement.  The AAICU EES Agreement will
enable  participating schools to combine their FTEs to qualify for deeper levels of discount from Microsoft .  Based on several factors, September 1st, 2011 has been chosen as the common renewal date for the AAICU EES Agreement.  Schools with existing Campus Agreements agreements, if authorized by Microsoft, will be granted amendments to “sync” their agreement to the common renewal date.

Procurement Card Best Practices Conference Call

Carol Vucovich - Wednesday, March 30, 2011
Procurement Card Best Practices Conference Call
Peer-to-Peer Information Exchange

Wednesday, April 13, 2011
2 pm ET / 1 pm CT / 11 pm PT

Each year in April, CCCS and JPMorgan Chase sponsor a P-Card Best Practice sharing event where ideas are presented to enhance existing p-card programs. The goal of this information exchange is to expose participants to a variety of experiences and uses, successfully implemented at other institutions, to consider for their own campus p-card programs.

This year CCCS is changing the format of this Best Practice event to feature a panel of presenters from CCCS institutions. The presenters will share their experiences regarding uses of the p-card at their schools and also be available to the participants for a Q&A discussion session at the conclusion of their comments. The opportunity to compare programs and learn from your peers should pay dividends on your investment of time and participation on the call. Participation is open to anyone on your campus who has an interest in your p-card program, including personnel from Procurement, Accounts Payable, Accounting, IT and your end- user departments.

Participants will also receive a short briefing on the new five-year contract with JPMorgan Chase, including news about favorable changes in the rebate calculation for 2011 and beyond. Please mark your calendars for this important learning opportunity!
