received from their supervisor added to the agenda as a discussion item.

Training and Development Opportunities
Cally Henderson provided a summary of her responsibilities for providing training opportunities
for the campus, which include EDGE sessions, new employee orientation, a supervisor
development training program, and on-campus course training. She would like to develop a
partnership with CADC in identifying staff training needs and asked for input. Suggestions and
comments included:
 The International Association of Administrative Professionals seminar held each year in
April in the Eau Claire area
 Video record EDGE sessions so that those who are unable to attend can still get the
information
 Alternate EDGE session times and days
 Offer EDGE sessions on non-office related topics
 Schedule informational sessions about the new UPS system and the supplemental pay
plan
Announcements
A. The updated meeting schedule has been posted to the CADC website.
Minutes
A. March 14, 2013: Motion to approve (Pauly/Simons) passed unanimously by consent.
Unfinished Business
A. CADC By-Laws: Motion to approve (Tenorio/Entzminger) passed unanimously by consent.
B. Classified staff Survey: Wahl and Simons have asked for the data from the latest classified
staff survey conducted by Human Resources and will look at what needs have not been met.
Wahl will ask Human Resources if the survey results/data can be released to all CADC
members. Another classified staff survey will not be conducted in the short term; some
members suggested it may be beneficial to complete one sooner than later.
New Business
A. Committee Representation: A survey will be developed and sent to classified staff to
generate a database of those who are interested and willing to serve on university
committees. Wahl asked visitors, many from the Physical Plant area, if all had access to a
computer. Discussion continued on the need for all employees on campus to have access
to a computer since timesheets are now completed online and most information is
distributed by email or online, and the need for basic computer use training. The council
agreed to look into the possibility of repurposing laptops before they are sent to surplus and
VII.
have at least one available in each building for physical plant employees. Web and email
access is the most pressing need.
B. CADC Welcome Letter: Seems to be a positive response to the letter with the number of
visitors attending today’s meeting. Clarification was requested about opportunity for
visitor input.
C. Physical Plant Correspondence: Several physical plant employees received a request from a
custodial supervisor to join LinkedIn and they asked for input from CADC if this was a
legitimate site and appropriate request for a supervisor. Several CADC members were
aware of LinkedIn and it is a legitimate site for professional networking. Those who received
the correspondence were encouraged to ask the supervisor if the request was possibly
generated randomly by the software, and if it was purposefully sent, what is the intention or
benefit of corresponding through this site.
Adjournment at 3:13 p.m.

Becky Simonson, Secretary
