It was not my intention to be "ugly". Nor was it my intention to send this to the entire list. I just thought she should reevaluate the image she was projecting by sending what seemed to be a personal email, but in fact was a mass email to persons who did not attend the meeting. Many of my colleagues at other institutions have had excellent relations with SRA and have encouraged me to give them just one more chance - I have not been so fortunate and find them to be nonresponsive and rather impersonal on more than one occasion (over 6 in fact). So please forgive me if I found this to be objectionable. Again it was not my intent to send it to the list. When I realized I had, I tried to retract it. It was however my intent to send it to SRA and I stand by my feelings and continued perceptions of that organization. I apologize to the list.

BC'ing the entire list does not seem to be in your best interest. >>> Pam Miller <xxxxxx@USFCA.EDU> 11/7/2008 10:56 AM >>> Dianne, I looked into this personally since the problem you described on the listserv seemed to involve SRA directly. My understanding is that after you reported this problem to the SRA International staff a month or so ago the staff reviewed office procedures for processing fax orders. The fax machine is now in a separate locked room that only SRA International staff can open. We have not yet heard you're your credit card company so we don't know what they concluded. We have had no other reported incidents like the one you have described. Nonetheless, we do take security issues very seriously and I hope you will contact me directly if I can do anything more to assist you.

I received a call at home from my credit card company concerned that there were several purchases of gasoline from the same gas station in Hartford, Conn. My company is in California and I had not lost my credit card. I had to cancel the card and be issued a new one. Dianne A.

I was fortunate to have a colleague attending the same meeting pick up other expenses during my stay since I only carry one credit card when traveling. This new corporate credit card was used for the first time during this trip. Kathleen Diaz Taggart Associate Vice President for Research and Compliance -----Original Message----- From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@hrinet.org] On Behalf Of Zoya Hamilton Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 2:00 PM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: [RESADM-L] precautionary note I don't want to make this look too alarming, but those of you who traveled to SRA annual meeting may want to check your credit card statements for unauthorized transactions. I had one that originated in MD ten days after I left National Harbor, and the only place where I gave out my card details was at the hotel where we all stayed. The charge was not from the hotel, perhaps somebody got access to the hotel records. My bank is investigating it, but in the meantime I thought I'd let you know. -- Zoya Hamilton, CRA Sr. Associate Director, Research Administration Office of the Vice Provost Tufts University Tel (617) 636-6709 Fax (617) 636-2917 http://www.tufts.edu/central/ ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ======================================================================
