
Classified Week (May 17-21, 2010) – Recap of major points from last meeting. Donna noted
the need to have a balance of personal enrichment and professional development
workshops. A survey will be sent out for staff to select what they would like to be offered.
There was a brief discussion about the format of such survey and the consensus was that
the workshops/activities suggested at the October meeting be included along with an “other”
option. In addition, the survey would also include a “call for presenters” statement/option.
The group also reviewed and updated the sub-committees. Subsequent meetings will be
broken down into 2 sessions. Sub-committees will meet for half hour and then report to
group at the second half hour.
Sub-committee rosters include:
Workshops
Vicki De La Torre
Beverly Gilmore
Jimmy Macareno
Anita Martinez
Allene Quarles
Carolee Vakil-Jessop
Team Building Event
Caroline Biedler
Linda Detwiler
Nina Oshio

Representatives from the Compton Center staff will be invited to attend future meetings so
