Members Absent: Jane Hall and Dianne Lynch
The meeting was called to order at 3:35 PM. Feedback from the first meeting was considered and discussed. Some concerns addressed were bad acoustics, concerns about absenteeism and the lack of action steps at the end of the meeting. In addition, discussion about another meeting place was considered. The Library Conference room was named as a possible meeting alternative. Dave will check on the seating capacity and advise the Committee.
One of the reasons the committee met a week early was to consider all the information from the UAC Meeting on September 14. The Committee decided it would be helpful to have a handout, provided from members of the currently assigned Task Forces on Retention, for the General Membership to consider. Dr. Bob Caruso has provided Bill with a comprehensive handout that will be distributed at the October 4 meeting. Other individuals who may be asked to contribute information to the packet include Dr. Tom Canepa and Dr. Rick Collings.
The task of assembling a comprehensive governance map was assigned to Dave and Lou. They will try to compile a list of the committees that are active on campus now. Lou will contact JJ and work with Dave to generate that document. Reports on progress will be forthcoming.
The issue of empowerment was also discussed as it may relate to retention. Receiving feedback concerning issues that have not been clearly addressed may contribute to dissatisfaction in the University. Aside from general business, the UAC agenda for the October 4 meeting will be on the Retention Material and Empowerment.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:57 PM. The next Executive Committee meeting is currently scheduled for October 26 at 3:30 PM in the Rogers Room of the UC.
Respectfully submitted,
David A. Whitaker
Secretary for the Committee
