INFORMATION/DISCUSSION/PRESENTATIONS
1. Review of Council Handbook and Membership:
Carol Kimbrough briefly reviewed the council handbook highlighting membership and possible modifications. There is
a need to keep in line with other councils and their membership participants. Discussion was held on the importance
of meeting quorum and possibly making revisions to the membership requirements. Al Muñoz stated other councils
communicate with area representation immediately after the second absence from the council to inquire if the
representative will be able to continue or a replacement needs to be made. It was mentioned that two positions need
to be filled , one faculty and one classified, to fulfill the Advancement Council membership.
2. Continuous Improvement:
Carol Kimbrough explained there was a survey distributed in May to assess and determine the effectiveness of the
Governance Councils. The council reviewed the 6 responses in each of the categories for Advancement Council. In
the area of “disagree”, the council discussed ways to improve and will discuss in future meetings the Advancement
Council’s role in these areas. Al Muñoz stated that the council’s role is to discuss information and views to be relayed
to the College Planning Council. Certain items, such as board policies will go to each council for review. Loyanne
Flinn asked how information should be shared as the process seems unclear. Al stated since last year was the first
year of the councils, everything was new. Since everyone is more familiar with the process, it should be easier to
disseminate information. The topic of attendance was brought up again and it was mentioned that everyone needs to
be at the table to hear all perspectives, take them into consideration and arrive at a consensus. Loyanne Flinn shared
an inventory of agenda items graph which explains areas of responsibility by month. This is in line with the council’s
hand book and reflects where the council is spending their time. Carol Kimbrough stated the graph shows not a lot of
time was spent on board policies and administrative procedures and service area outcomes. She also stated that in
the spring the council will see program assessments. Al Muñoz suggested it would be a good idea to invite Dr. Brian
Lofman to present to Advancement Council. The council reviewed the evaluation of governance effectiveness and an
edit was made to add the two vacancies to the summary.
 No action could be taken as council did not meet quorum
3. Program Review 2015–16:
Loyanne Flinn explained that there are two program reviews, one for the Office of Institutional Advancement and the
other for the office of the Executive Director of Institutional Advancement. The Office of the Executive Director
includes the Executive Director and the Executive Assistant. Loyanne highlighted the Office of the Executive Director
as well as the Foundation who work with committees both from the college and the community. She stressed
challenges related to staffing. This area also manages the Foundation Board of Directors. An assessment will be
forthcoming regarding service area outcomes.
Loyanne Flinn highlighted areas of the Office of Institutional Advancement and Development. A challenge is $41K
funding for an alumni and special events officer. Additional requests included equipment and training along with a
scholarship management system. Al Muñoz explained that all councils have brought forth resource requests for 201415. Al is trying to meet with VPs in divisions to get more details before this is taken to CPC. There is discussion
about an adhoc committee being tasked with going through requests prior to CPC. $6M requests are on schedule for
equipment purchases. Al is compiling requests and will send to CPC. Advancement Council requests will be
considered along with the requests of other areas. The council reviewed the resource request submitted to Al Muñoz.

Carol Kimbrough opened up conversation on what individuals would receive, what they would be recognized for, and
asked for recommendations. Suggested recognition included employee of the year, and student of the month, along
with a reception to include refreshments. Loyanne offered to develop a template for the nomination form to be
considered at the next meeting. All council members are asked to consider a theme for the first recognition. Council
members felt that asking the faculty senate, student senate and classified senate to make nomination
recommendations to the Advancement Council was a good process. The council will review at the next meeting and
provide recommendations.
Public & Private Grants Update:
Loyanne provided a Public and Private Grants update. She highlighted the rolling list of grants. Two grants were
submitted to the National Science Foundation and we are awaiting word. In addition, she mentioned that grants to
the National Science Foundation and the US Department of Education were not awarded. Karen Hagman highlighted
grants for the capital campaign with the S.T.A.R. Foundation and the Gihon Foundation. If awarded, these grants
would help build a new box office, upgrades to exterior of building and atrium. Carol Kimbrough suggested that
grants updates should continue to be given at Advancement Council meetings going forward.
Priority #6 – Hartnell College Partnership Baseline (follow-up to September discussion): Loyanne Flinn asked if there
was any follow-up to the discussion of Priority 6 from the last meeting. There was none.
President’s Task Force – Long Term Plan:
Loyanne Flinn touched on the funding plan. There is a $14M goal over 5 years to raise funds. The Foundation is
keeping track of public and private funds which total $7M of goal thus far. There are projects in queue which have
specific funding opportunities. This is one of the college’s long term plans along with the Technology Plan, the
Facilities Master Plan and the EEO Plan.
Loyanne Flinn reviewed the assessment for the Long Term Plan. At the end of 2013-14, year 2 of the 5-year plan,
the goal was overall 47% complete. Many of the initiatives are very close to meeting, or have exceeded, the goals.
Some initiatives, such as Athletics, is a focus for 2014-15 including hiring a Development Director for Athletics to work
on fundraising. Some initiatives are in the process of a champion and steering committee being formalized.
Currently, there are no salient challenges to completion. Discussion was had regarding the percentage of
initiatives/projects completed. This plan will be evaluated annually.
9. BP/AP 3280 Grants – role of Advancement Council:
Carol Kimbrough explained that BP/AP 3280 was submitted to Academic Senate in September for review, but was
rejected. A team including, Kelly Locke, Loyanne Flinn, Tracey Richardson, Sharon Alheit and Carol Kimbrough has
been meeting to discuss a policy and procedure that best meets the needs of the college. Loyanne Flinn pointed to
the section on grants in the council handbook. The council will continue to discuss their role in grants at the next
meeting.
