Minutes

Minutes to the June 15 meeting were approved.

 Committee elections

Wayne Laudenbach has been selected as one of the representatives to the Joint Benefits Committee and has already attended a JB meeting. Bev will make an official announcement on the new reps as soon as it’s been decided.

There are four nominees for the Professional Development committee.

Ballots for the four support staff committee positions (Bev Overman, Joyce Honer, Tanya Carlson, Mary Niedenfuer) opening this fall will be sent out next month. There was discussion later in the meeting about finding replacements for open positions. It was decided to combine the HAB/Richarda position with ASB and seek one position from that pool. Jeanne Terres will continue as the ASB rep. One rep will also be needed from Food Service and one from Main, Teresa 4.

Joint Benefits report – no report

Professional Development report – Terri reported that the last application of the 2004 fiscal year was denied and that it was a very difficult decision because the same request had been funded in the past. Terri would like the committee to be able to suggest other sources of funding for cases that are denied.

Anniversary gifts

Tina brought samples of possible gifts from the Bookstore: a CSB glass and a pen. Al suggested offering a free lunch at the CSB Cafeteria and has checked with Gary Bradford about the cost to us: $4.50. Jeanne drafted a new certificate of appreciation that can be used as tickets for the lunches. The certificates will be given on the first day of the anniversary month and will be valid for that month.

Misc

Dates were chosen for the next craft sale: either Nov 15 or 17, or Nov 29 or Dec 1. Al will check with Events about the Alum Hall availability. Once a date is selected, Mary will invite the St. Joe Farmers’ Market if they’d like to also set up for the sale.

Future agenda item – Welcoming new employees to campus

The meeting adjourned at 2:30 pm.
