Review of the Charge to the Goal Teams, Team Principles and Roles
CPC Co-chair Susan Kelley and Jennifer Robertson reviewed the charge to the
goal teams, the “five questions” that each team will address, the principles that the
team developed to guide their work and the roles they wish to have filled by team
members. (See Attachments A and B for the Nov. 10 meeting notes, which
include the list of principles and roles, and which are also at this web site:

Review of Notes from November 10 Joint Meeting
Jennifer asked the team whether any entries required clarification or if anything
were missing that should be added to the record. The team agreed that the ntoes
from November 10 meeting were accurate as written. (See Attachments A and B
for the Nov. 10 meeting notes, which may also be found at this web site:

Review of Strategic Issues and Major Goal-Related Initiatives and Projects
Jennifer asked the teams to break into two groups.
The groups reviewed and discussed the Strategic Issues included in the 2008-13
Strategic Plan, noting those that have relevance to the goal, and suggesting any
strategic issues that have emerged that the team suggests be added, if any.
The groups also reviewed the list of major goal-related initiatives and projects,
and identified missing initiatives.
One group began to discuss where we want to go ultimately with this goal, how
much change we might bring about by 2013, and how we might measure that
change. Those notes are in Attachment C. The entire team will discuss this at its
next meeting, on February 11.
The team met as a whole to discuss the small group findings and agree on the
attached lists. (See Attachments D and E.)
On these lists, assignments were made for team members who volunteered to:
- update information on the strategic issues for the purpose of reporting on the
issues at the Big Meeting on March 19, using an issue brief format that will be
provided to the team. (Attachment F is the form to be used.)
- gather current information about the initiatives for the team’s review at its
second meeting. (Attachment G is the form to be used.)
It was noted that after reviewing the work underway on initiatives and projects
that comprise the major work under the goal, the team will decide what to
recommend that the College measure to gauge project toward the goal. This
discussion will take place at the next meeting and be concluded before Spring
Break.
Next Meeting
The team agreed to meet on February 11, at 1:00 at the Criminal Justice Institute.
Reports on the strategic issues and the initiatives are due to Susan Kelley at
skelley@valenciacc.edu, by February 5. Forms are attached for use by those
members who volunteered to report on each. (See Attachments F and G.)
Team members may refer to the Situational/Needs Analysis in the Strategic Plan
as they consider the Strategic Issues. The Analysis may be found at:

The team decided that the convener would rotate for each meeting, and Joe Lynn
Look agreed to convene the second meeting.

meeting, and for her hospitality at the Sand Lake Center.
