2. April 8 & April 15 Planning Summits – Keith Snow-Flamer
• Keith explained that the Institutional Effectiveness Committee (IEC) is charged
with assessing the planning and governance process. A survey was sent to all
to identify holes or areas of improvement in the planning process
• Dates for two planning summits have been established: Friday, April 8 and
Friday, April 15 from 10am to noon. The IEC is inviting all functional planning
committees (“blue” boxes) and college council to attend to assess the planning
model and make improvements. The summits will held in AT 103/104
• The IEC is also asking the PRC to cancel their meetings on those two Fridays
and attend planning summits. They feel this is very important as the PRC is
the beginning of the planning process
• The goal is to have suggested improvements for the process and narrative in
time for College Council next month. Mary Grace Barrick and Pat Girczyc will
facilitate and are preparing agendas
• The PRC members present agreed to cancel the two PRC meetings and
attend the summits
3. Executive Summaries for Groups 3, 4, 5, and 6 (if time allows)

members not present are asked to review the summaries which will be posted
in MyCR in the Sp2011 Exec Summaries folder in the next week
