Exciting Updates to the Fiscal Administrators (FA) Group

For over 37 years*, the Fiscal Administrators (FA) Group has been a cornerstone of UVA’s financial community, providing important updates, learning opportunities, and a space for collaboration. Starting in 2025, we’re introducing some changes to the FA Group’s meeting schedule and format to make it even more valuable for members.

What’s Changing? 

• New Meeting Cadence: FA meetings will now take place every other month on the third Thursday afternoon.  See the 2025 meeting dates on the website (click "Fiscal Administrators"). 
• First Meeting in the New Format: Mark your calendar for February 20, 2025, from 3:00 - 4:30 pm (this replaces the February 5 meeting).
• Focused Content: Meetings will include learning sessions on key topics, opportunities for Q&A, and updates shaped by input from the Finance Advisory Network (FAN).

What Is the FAN? 

More bang for your meeting buck!

The Finance Advisory Network (FAN) is a newly re-energized group of financial leaders from UVA’s schools and units. FAN members meet with UVAFinance on alternating months to discuss challenges and opportunities and to ensure clear, two-way communication between UVAFinance and fiscal administrators.

If you have questions or feedback, we encourage you to connect with your area’s FAN representative! View area FAN members on the website (click "Finance Advisory Network").

Staying in the Loop 

Even on months without a meeting, FA members will still receive the monthly FA "Top of Mind" newsletter, which provides timely updates and answers to frequently asked questions. Be sure to check the UVAFinance blog digest for additional information as well.

If you’re not currently on the FA invite list and would like to be added, email askfinance@virginia.edu.

We’re excited to bring this refreshed approach to the FA Group and to strengthen the connection between fiscal administrators, FAN representatives, and UVAFinance. Thank you for being a part of this incredible network—we look forward to seeing you in February!
