Classified Staff Organization Meeting Minutes December 5, 2003 Meeting called to order by Dawn Byers. Motion to approve minutes from September’s CSO meeting. Approved unanimously. Overview on Employee Reactions to Administration Survey: Chet Herbst gave an overview of the ERA survey that is currently in draft form. This form allows employees to give feedback on their boss (much like the performance reviews that are completed on us.) The feedback will be sent to the employee’s supervisor and their supervisor. Feedback is anonymous unless the employee would like to sign their name. The draft form can be found on the IPRA web site. Car-Wash and Lunch Give-Aways: Drawings for the next 3 months were held and winners are as follows: Winners of free car wash: January: Geri Seale, Social Work February: Sharon Auer, BTS March: Janell Miller, Distance Learning Winners of free lunch at Sodexho: January: Janet Wetmore, Purchasing February: Jil Whitcomb, CND March: Debbie Leachman, Controller’s Office Break for holiday treats: We took a 10 minute break to enjoy the Christmas desserts & recipes that were brought in by several classified staff members. Campus Holiday Party Update: Campus Holiday Party update was given by Vikki. Discussed the agenda of the Holiday party to be held Friday, December 12th in the WCC. The “prize packages” were mentioned that are “new” this year (Ski trip to Brundage; Spa package at the Coeur d’Alene Resort; and many other incentives to attend the party). It should be a great Holiday party this year! Letter from Santa: Vikki talked about the ‘Letter From Santa’ fundraiser that has been coordinated between Julie Crea and Vikki Swift. It was kicked off on Monday, December 1st and we will charge $5 per letter that is sent out. We have had a few individuals purchase ‘Letters From Santa’ for their children. We have seen orders come in from students; not many staff members yet. Vikki passed around a copy of the letter to generate interest and feedback. New Classified Staff Recognized: Vikki Swift announced all new classified employees / transfers / reclassifications that have occurred since the last meeting in September. Employee Recognition Committee Update: Shannon Casteel stated the annual Flea Market raised $164.00 this year. She also mentioned that the CSO donated $50 towards Santa’s Helpers. A new fundraiser is currently being discussed. This entails a book/movie/music sale in January located in the SUB. We will charge $1.00 per item that is sold. A request for donations will go out early in January and the date of the sale will be firmed up at the next Recognition Committee Meeting. Santa’s Helpers: Janell Miller gave an update on Santa’s Helpers. There are currently 9 families that we are sponsoring, with the possibility of gaining 2 or 3 more. Last year we sponsored 14 families with a total of $1750 spent. Deadline to donate items or money is the week of December 8th. Other Business: Dawn Byers updated the group on the Strategic Planning Committee. More information on this can be found on the CSO web site. In general, members of the committee felt strongly about the following issues:
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAY Patty provided information about the First Annual Professional Development Day that was held last April on campus. There were 114 in attendance, which included 44 persons from various organizations/businesses throughout the region. The overall comments from the attendees about the speakers and format of the seminar were very positive. There is currently $1054 in the Professional Development Day fund, which could be utilized to cover expenses for future seminars. We will contact members of the Professional Development Day Committee soon to schedule an organizational meeting to discuss a potential seminar in April 2004. You are welcomed and encouraged to join the Professional Development Day Committee! Respectfully submitted by Vikki Swift, HR Specialist, Human Resources |
