Look on your BALLOT for the CODE and VOTE: 800/639-3779.

Candidate Jessea NR Greenman – Additional Statement

Reasons for running include:

• Concern about the transition of responsibility for investment advice from the UC Treasurer to an outside firm. Consultants, not vested in our system, need oversight; their self-interest favors a short-term view rather our long-term payoffs.
• Desire for better socially responsible investing options. Since 1987, when UC first offered a single fund, there has been no enhancement of socially responsible options.
• Interest in making the Advisory Board better known and more accessible. It needs its own web pages. These should provide a list of its members, their terms and contact information, the schedule of meetings with UCOP, and a detailing of the election process, including downloadable forms.

I would work to fulfill these goals.
