Letter from the Editor, Winter 2005

by Zach Luther

Welcome to another issue of Directions! Now that the days are short and dark, you'll have no better opportunity for sitting at your computer with a mug of hot chocolate to read all of this quarter's articles!

We have a recap of the Combined Fund Drive event, as well as an article from Financial Management's new Quality Improvement Manager.

While we hope you had a safe holiday season, you might want to check out our article on the Worker's Compensation program just in case. We'll also continue our FM 101 series with an article on Financial Accounting. Continuing with that office, we have an article on the UW's Annual Report, from one of the people who makes it happen! And if you need a laugh, check out RQ Teasdale's latest—a satirical look at meetings.

There's plenty more to be found in this issue, so dig right in! I guarantee that it's better than last year's fruitcake.

The following articles are contained in this issue:
