1. Call to Order
2. Review of Minutes-Feb approved
3. Membership: Total $10,914.95 (checking $3313.87, savings $2145.70,
agency %5185.38). 113 current members.
a. Cancellation of Conference Registration Fee: Trinidy would like
creation of a policy of written notice within two days, or all sales final,
or five day in advance cancellation notice or send another in your
place. Need for some sort of disclaimer and give flexibility to
treasurer to make the final decision.
b. Trinidy has ordered mugs for the conference.
c. Recent memberships are being rolled over for 2011-2012.
4. Committee Reports:
a. Communications-Working on blog where others can post. Call for
Proposals has gone out. Registration in will take place in mid-April.
b. Professional Development- Kay will not be at the conference.
Looking for individuals to take over the committee-possibly Lisa
Froning, Nikki Grambo, Michelle Limle. Looking for someone to
coordinate the basket raffle-possibly Lisa? As of today, 25 have
RSVPed for Networking Luncheon.
c. Regional Campuses-Last meeting was March 4. April 21 regional
campus meeting in Ashtabula. Discussed Making Your Move even on
April 2. Committee chair: Ashtabula is interested in taking over with 5
individuals (concerned about distance). Also Melissa from Tusc might
consider it. Two chairs are a possibility but we’d need a centralized
contact. Discussion of locking plans in GPS for regionals.
e. University Collaborations-Workshop series: there have been some
additional registrations for make-up date. Need to move final Advising
202 session. Feedback has been positive. 11 of 15 copies of Academic
Advising have been purchased. Discussion of future committee chair.
5. Old Business
a. Advising Award-interested from exec, PD, and membership. First
meeting will take place over spring break.
b. Scholarships-Winners have been selected. Winner will be
announced on Thursday at Networking Lunch.
c. Future of KASADA-Kathy met with AAAC. Consensus from AAAC is
that KASADA has a purpose in providing PD to advisors and other
student service groups. Bring national trends to KSU without having
go to conference. Current research, webinars. AAAC focus is on
training rather than PD. AAAC members suggest KASADA might have
fewer events (e.g. semester in-service which contains a business
meeting). Some feeling that information is redundant (among AAAC,
KASADA, offices). Need for AAAC to have minutes posted for advisors.
Question of how KASADA can provide substantial programming but
not absolutely necessary to attend since participation is optional.
Kathy spoke to C. Nutt about situation. He suggested speaking with
organizations in similar situations. Kathy is looking into this but it’s
time consuming. KZ suggests a group form of exec/former exec and
some AAAC members to define our roles. This could be undertaken
next year. Kristin makes suggestion of interest groups rather than
committees in KASADA. Look for opportunities to collaborate with
AAAC. How to scale back but still maintain momentum in the
upcoming year?
d. Elections
With new direction, need to redistribute roles. Communication
becomes a responsibility of PD?
Laurie is looking for regional campus.
VP-possibly Marisa, Katie
Could secretary position rotate among members?
Katie and Mandy could continue in their positions. Katie’s also
interested in PD, VP.
6. New Business
a. From Treasurer-request for funding for 2011 Regional Conference
for April 2011 conference. Exec agrees it’s too late for the request.
There will be an account freeze June 1-June 30 so the balance is up to
date when the new treasurer takes over. It’s not certain all balances
will be up to date by that point. Might need to reconsider dates to
June 15-June 30 to give more time.
