Members Present: Sue Asp, Doug Allen, Carmen Barnes-Holden, Karen Less, Anne Williams, LaDonna Goodson, Angie Rudd, Renee Neal, and Ashley King Brown The meeting was called to order by the Immediate Past President Karen Less at 2:35 p.m. Treasurer's Report: Ashley King Brown presented the Treasurer Report. As of June 28, 2005 , the balance was $207.69. New Business: Ashley King Brown informed everyone of the web changes and the advancements that the Technology Committee has been able to make. We redesigned the pages to make them ADA compliant, and we rearranged some of the page structures. The Technology Committee members are Karen Hiott, Kelly Niman, Ashley King Brown and Tammy Buff. A meeting is scheduled to have those web changes updated by Kenneth Taylor. Brown will report on those changes at the next meeting. Doug Allen, member of the SACS committee, discussed the warning the college is currently experiencing. We have an incomplete status because our Institutional Effectiveness data haven't gone through final evaluation. When that occurs, the warning will be lifted. Allen also gave a change in the board update. The new officers for 2005-06 are Doug Allen, President, Ashley King Brown, Vice President, Joyce Watson, Secretary/Treasurer, Sue Asp, Member at Large, Karen Hiott, Member at Large, Karen Less, Immediate Past President. Our three goals for the upcoming year are effective campus wide communication, strengthening the professional image of PSA, and being an instrument of positive change for the college. Allen also wanted to make sure that Teresa Ray was getting updates from Personnel about new Professional Staff hires. Ray is in need of mentors for new staff members. We are keeping the format of two person teams, one from main, one from east campus. Allen also suggested we email meeting minutes to CVCC-ALL, and the members present thought that would be a nice change in order for the entire campus to know what we are working on. Asp suggested that the goals be sent to all members so that we will be aware of what we are working towards. We want to make incremental progress and advancements on our goals. Allen informed the group that the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to include a PSA representative on the Presidential Search Committee. The Board of Trustees voted unanimously. Renee Neal made a motion to determine the committee member by the process of nomination, and Wanda Horvath seconded that motion. All PSA members will receive a ballot by email. Anne Williams suggested writing thank you letters to Charles Snipes and Forrest Ferrell who is head of the search committee. There is some concern about positions being filled without being announced. Several positions have been filled recently by individuals who either did not interview or applied for other positions. A suggestion was made to contact the Personnel Office about those types of decisions. A letter will be written to the Personnel Director in order to address this problem. Paula Hollar will serve on the Professional Development Committee replacing Sue Asp. A discussion also took place concerning part time professional staff members not being included in PSA. We rely heavily on part time professional staff, and this is an entire group without representation across all of our campuses. There has been no direct feedback from the Beautification Committee on legacy items. If you have any suggestions, contact Karen or Doug. Less did suggest purchasing the scoreboard for the new bocce court that will be in the quad area behind the library. We will wait on other options at this time. Anne Williams has made it to the top five in the state for staff person of the year award! Everyone agreed on the great accomplishment! Agenda planning for next meeting: The next General meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, January 24, 2006 at 2:30 p.m. Agenda items for the general meeting include:
Meeting adjourned at 2:40 p.m. Respectively yours
Ashley King Brown, President-Elect, PSA
