Committee Reports

Staff Awards: Rene' and Sandy met with the Dean in regards to combining faculty and staff awards. He understands the division between the faculty and staff and is supportive of the decision reached by the SRG. The SRG voted to keep the staff awards separate from the faculty awards. Jacquee Rosumny updated us on the different processes that other colleges on campus use for their award ceremonies. We decided that all staff should have a vote. We also discussed having a website established for the nominees in regards to the voting. The staff awards committee will meet in January.

Newsletter: A copy of the newsletter was passed around. It was suggested that we have more staff support. We would like to have a Christmas Newsletter out before the holidays.

Safety Report: No Report
Staff Council: Minutes were taken by Sandy Smith and distributed (see attachment).
