Kate met with Don Plotts on Tuesday.
 Don supported gathering input/responses to the Feedback Report from
College employees (Cleary model) and integrating the Feedback Report
plus the input/responses into the strategic planning process. Don
suggested that he, Ken Ekegren and Kate meet to discuss it.
 Kate communicated to Don the Committee’s recommendation that
Category Leaders should be given the responsibility to annually update
the Systems Portfolio. (Don was given the Systems Portfolio
worksheets from the last Committee meeting that identified processes
addressed in the Categories and recommended Category Leaders). Don
said he would get back to Kate on this.
To gather input/responses based on the Feedback Report from employees, the
Committee decided:
 For the strategic issues, to survey everyone via department/division
meetings, using the Cleary model, by May.
 For the opportunities and strengths in the categories, to survey targeted
groups where indicated, everyone where indicated, by May.
The College will send a team to the Strategy Forum scheduled for 9/30 – 10/3.
The purpose is to help the College learn from the Feedback Report, action

projects, etc. The President will attend. Team membership was discussed –
probably a mix of previous attendees and new attendees and based on action
projects, areas targeted for improvement. (Sheila Campbell? To improve our
use of data.)
The Committee approved an information insert/checkoff for the orientation of
new employees and the Faculty and Staff Handbooks.
The June Celebration Picnic will be for graduates and employees this year. Peg
stated that the site for the picnic has been discussed with Brian White. Best site
is still Kee Hall area, expanding around to the front of the building. The
Committee discussed other logistics due to the larger numbers – cooking ahead
and keeping burger/hotdogs hot, having the line set up to move fast, asking
Terry Coleman for help.
To celebrate the success of the Systems Portfolio, the Committee decided to
call for a cocktail hour, 3/14, 5:00 at O’Charley’s, inviting all who helped with
the Portfolio.
