Kate Passed passed out copies of AQIP’s 6 question action project update report.
Kate asked that those reporting on the Action Projects to follow this guideline – a
trial run.
An update was given on the Strategic Plan project. This committee has been
charged with selecting a model to use in developing a strategic plan. Don -- 1)
Following in-depth research, the model used by Carroll Community College
seemed to be the best fit. 2) Maintain awareness. Team members will interview
individuals in faculty and staff to receive input, both positive and negative. This
will be fine-tuned over the summer. 3) The next step will be to present model to
the caucuses, Pres Staff, Board, etc. 4) Found that everyone’s input was very
valuable. 5) The team feels the College has some really good things to offer. One
challenge would be to effectively bring other committees into the plan. Need to
use everything that has been done so far. 6) Will ask for assistance as project
progresses if needed. Tom – Planning cycle for this will hopefully go live this
December. The plan will drive the budget. Governance, Facilitation, Planning
flowchart was handed out and discussed.
Update on Communications Action Project –The Communications team
assembled an inventory of currently used modes of communication. They then
sent out an email survey. A total of 58 employees participated. The top three
desired communication choices were: email, inter-office mail, and department
meetings. Results of the internal communications inventory were discussed. Dr.
Abrams felt the results left the question about whether employees were
distinguishing between “information” and “communication.” This needs to be
addressed.
Peg submitted a written status report on the Success in Dev Ed Action Project:
