History of MARCUMS |
| Initial planning for the
establishment of The Middle Atlantic Region of College and University
Mail Services (MARCUMS) was begun in December 1997 as a result of several
phone conversations between Randy J. Rice, York College of Pennsylvania
and Jim Buratti, University of Maryland at College Park, Maryland.
Martha McClain, University of Massachusetts, at that time President of
the Northeastern Region Association of College and University Mail Services
(ACUMS), the regional association for New England, was instrumental in
urging that such a organization be established because of the large number
of institutions located in the Middle Atlantic geographical area.
These conversations resulted in a letter sent to many of the institutions within the Middle Atlantic area. The positive responses returned indicated that there was sufficient interest among many of the institutions to proceed with the organizing effort. An interim Executive Board
consisting of volunteer members had organized in the May-June 1998 time
frame to begin the drafting of our By-laws, drafting and printing our
brochures and related documents and to pursue the organizing effort.
The charter members of the Board involved in this organizational effort
were: This organizational effort
culminated in the first MARCUMS business meeting conducted at York College
of Pennsylvania on October 20, 1998. Membership at that time consisted
of 50 individuals representing 40 institutions. 25 members were
present at this first business meeting. |
