Hi, members!
 
I am a staff member at the Center for Organizational Research and
Effectiveness (CORE) and I need your help.
 
Presently, we are a unit within the Graduate School of Social Work at the
University of Houston.  For various reasons, our Advisory Board has asked
us to explore different administrative arrangements.
 
We are interested in learning about any existing centers that are
affiliated with a university, but are not necessarily a department within
the university.  If you are part of an organization meeting these criteria
or know of one that exists, I would appreciate any information that might
lead to clarification of the parameters within which such a center might
exist.
 
Please respond to me personally. I will compile the responses and submit a
summary to the group.
 
Thanks for your time and consideration.
 
Best regards,
 
Amber L. McConnell
