OLD BUSINESS
1. Minutes
The October 4, 2007 minutes were corrected (2 items), seconded and approved.
2. Standing Committee Reports
Safety Committee (Mike Gorman)
The team has met and two CPR classes have been approved and will be taught next week (11/12 & 11/14). The 11/14 class has space available for anyone interested. These classes are for a two-year certification/recertification card—a large savings for the College. The next task, table reads for the safety representatives (Emergency Operation Week), will be after Thanksgiving.Newsletter Committee (Jacquee Rosumny)
This committee does not have a chair. J.Rosumny will talk with H.Fancher and A.Garber about continuing to work on the committee. She will also ask A.Garber to get a PR note out to the College body for other staff to become members and participate.Staff Awards Committee (Jacquee Rosumny)
The budget for the ceremony is $1,500 and the location will be River’s Crossing Bldg. on April 4, 2008. The theme will be tailgating,“The Spirit of COE” and a motivational speaker will be invited—plus possible attendance by UGA cheerleaders and Hairy Dawg. A.Cole and H.Fancher will take pictures for the slide show presentation. An amendment was presented for the staff awards selection committee (7 members—two faculty, two staff and three outsiders) and three letters of recommendation was suggested. A meeting with the Administration Council about a “Team Award” via a department plaque was announced. J.Rosumny and B.Stauff wrote this proposal and will email it everyone close to finalization.
3. Special Committees
By-laws Committee (no report)
Staff Council Meeting (no report)
Career Track Committee (Jacquee Rosumny, Sally McDonald & Mike Gorman)
Career Track for Staff: “To map out a plan for a chosen profession a person wants to pursue and then develop methods to achieve it.” The group met last week to look at peer colleges or businesses plan as to what they do for their staff. Goals will be set that a staff member can work towards. Career track and Training & Development are two separate goals.
Training and Development Committee (Mike Gorman)
The committee did not receive any feedback on the survey. M.Gorman will resend and extend the deadline to the end of next week. Based on an email J.Rosumny received from Dr. K.Watkins, around $600 would be given to each department for staff development funds. J.Rosumny wants a response for Dr. Watkins this afternoon on the group thoughts.Report From The Chair (Jacquee Rosumny)
I attended the Administrative Council Meeting and there was much discussion on the recent audits. So of the main focuses were on the failure to keep track of inventory and ensuring the Department Head saw all the expenditures that went on in the department. During this discussion it was discovered that some of the departments were using a form for the Department Head to sign off on. The decision was agreed upon that all of those departments that were using a form were to send them to Bill Stauff and his department would consolidate them into one useable form and that form will be put on the COE website for all departments to use. (sample attached.)
NEW BUSINESS
a. Toys for Tots: (Amanda Cole)
The graduate students from the Counseling and Human Department want to be a partner in the task with SRG in collecting items for this event. The groups will be meeting 11/9/07 for discussion. This collaboration of the two would be good PR for the staff and students working together in the COE.
b. Centennial Report: (Christy Glazer)
The COE meeting today with Dr. Watkins was cancelled. The “Brick Campaign” is already in place for faculty, staff, alumni and students to purchase. Ideas from SRG were: T-shirts to sell, golf shirts, and order a centennial bulldog to sell. The College will use SRG for help at the different events that are planned-“Big Event in June”-a dinner is in the works for this.
c. Other Issues: (Jacquee Rosumny)
At the next meeting, we will share treats and surprises.
Next meeting is December 6, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. in G-23 Aderhold.
Meeting adjourned at 11:05 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Margaret Turner, Secretary
