Retirement Receptions

Summary: Establishes guidelines for recognition items, receptions, and in lieu of a reception for all Extension employees.

Recognition Item - Each retiree may be presented a plaque or other appropriate recognition item with the UADA logo to commemorate his/her years of service to the organization. The cost of the item will be paid by Extension indirect funds from the employee’s unit budget. You may contact the Office of the Senior Associate Vice President if you have questions.

Reception - A retirement reception will be held at the discretion of the retiree. If a reception is desired, the retiree’s unit will be responsible for all planning and hosting of the reception.

Up to $100 of the cost of the reception may be reimbursed. Contact the Office of the Senior Associate Vice President for approval and reimbursement instructions.

In lieu of a reception – If desired by the retiree, as an alternative to a reception, the retiree may have a lunch or dinner with his/her co-workers and family. Again, up to $100 of the lunch or dinner expense may be reimbursed. Contact the Office of the Senior Associate Vice President for approval and reimbursement instructions.

NOTE: If the retiree does not desire a reception, lunch or dinner, the $100 may not be paid to the retiree.
