It was posed that there be samples of t-shirts available for the next sale and Elizabeth commented that colors were not correct for the past sale. Betty P. will contact Dave Wynne and report at the next SRG meeting if there will be any changes in the committee.

Chair:

Cindy Williams sent Betty P. flyers regarding the Executive Administrative Secretary ú UGA Conference, Institute of Gov't. Betty P. discussed the conference and distributed copies of the flyer. Betty reported that there will be a change in the Campaign for Charities distribution of information. Staff/faculty will be contacted individually by Campaign for Charities and will be responsible for reporting directly to the Campaign for Charities group for contributions. This will help alleviate the pressure put on staff by their supervisor to contribute and contributions made will be more confidential. Betty Prickett was re-elected as Chair of SRG and had first declined. The runner-ups did not want to take the position either, so another election was held. Art Sturgill had the most votes, but declined. Betty has since decided to resume the position of Chair.
