1. Ron Taylor, joined by Carolyn Arnold – conversation with the committee regarding Flex Day
and development of a Staff Development Plan that would align with other aspects of College
priorities. It was emphasized that the activities of the Staff Development Committee on campus
have been in line with college objectives and priorities. The coordinators will get information
to Dr. Taylor regarding the activities of the Committee this year and what is expected to be
continued next year.
What is on the horizon are the activities surrounding the next round of the accreditation cycle –
SLOs. What the role of Staff Development along these lines is unclear as these initiatives have
been conducted through other committees and those committees are more aware of the needs
and demands. The conversations will be continued. Carolyn shared 2 handouts with the
committee: Annual Strategic Plan Priority Objectives and Priority goals from the IPBC.
