DISCUSSION

Celebration Cookout planned for 6/5 (6/7 rain date), co-sponsored by
AtD.
 Serving hours 11:30 – 2:00, later than last year based on feedback
from Kee Hall group (missed out on burgers last year)
 Will be announced at 4/20 Convocation, PowerPoint with pics from
last year.
 Need someone to oversee (Diane Hipsher did last year), check on
plans from last year, need workers.
For Systems Portfolio work, pens for gifts, enclosed with card, given at 4/20
Convocation, pens with AQIP and NC State logos.
 Celebration Cookout announcement (see first item)
 Show F: with documents
 Explain tie-in with Strategic Planning
 Handout with updates on Action Projects
 Margaret and Bev reported that SP Teams for Categoriew 1, 2, 3, 6, 7
have turned in drafts. Margaret and Bev have prepared feedback for
those drafts. Categories 4 & 5 are now available and they plan to
review those tomorrow. Feedback will be sent to the teams. Overall,
problems include writing in passive voice, not paraphrasing the
questions, not answering all the questions (short answers), some
duplication of content. Overview section too long. Overall, good
information, good work, interesting to read and learn about the
College.
 After next revision, document will go to President’s Staff for review.
 Team Leaders (Ken Ekegren, Terry Coleman, Stoner) received
template for Action Project Annual Updates required by AQIP and
due in September – as a heads up.

Next Action
Projects
AtD Dev Ed Project (Coleman) is proceeding, more data on results of
strategy implementations will be forthcoming. Project scheduled to
retire 6/07; Committee agreed to extend this project for another year
so data could be reported.
 Communication Project (Stoner) – several issues of “Our College”
have been published. Due to retire 6/07. The Team is prepared to
survey College employees this spring to get feedback/ data. The
Committee was in favor of continuing “Our College” for more
exposure. One problem is that few/no questions have been submitted.
Margaret had some ideas, the Committee supported the President in
informing us via the publication of state-level activities and potential
implications. Jim suggested that Deans request questions at Division
meetings.
The Committee discussed next action project(s). AtD Dev Ed and Strategic
Planning will continue. Need minimum 3 projects reported to AQIP.
Possibilities include current projects (AtD Gatekeeper and IT projects) and
the project related to Valuing People (Category 4) that Lynn and Mike Allen
have developed.
Notify Coleman
and Peg Moir.
Notify AQIP.
