additional weight and the group is working on criteria

 PRBC can present on 11/16 or 11/30
 Committee reviewed rubric that was created to use while reading documents to
help the process
 Options
o Read more than once (Do we gather a reading group more than once?)
o Google drive/doc and contribute
 Decisions
o Timeline – Suggestion should present on 11/30
 First read on November 4th (3:00 -5:00)
 Follow-up on November 18th (3:00 - 5:00) – draft statement on
prioritization
o Invite list
 Requesting three from each division, classified and faculty to read

Strategic Plan Goal
 Committees who would like to make requests find there is no clear process. They
should see Deonne to find an avenue, possibly can submit under PRBC. Tech,
COOL, Staff Development, Facilities fall under this situation
Strategic Goal Plan: Business Presentation
 Deonne explained that the Business presentation relates to our Strategic Goal
Plan and what it is we are accomplishing in those areas. This is the first of
several presentations being done by those who were involved in developing the
initiatives. What we need to do is decide for the next Flex Day who we want the
college to hear from, what invitations we want to make and how we can further
the conversation with the entire college around the Strategic Goal Plan.
