Note - The goal team agendas and meeting notes are accessible by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page: http://valenciacc.edu/strategicplan/strategicplanning2010-11.cfm I. Welcome and Introductions (5 minutes) Dave Heffernan, Convener, will ask all present to introduce themselves. II. Minutes of Second Team Meeting (5 minutes) Dave will ask the team to review and suggest any edits to the minutes of the second team meeting, prepared by Barbara Frazier. (Minutes will be sent via separate email.) III. Review of Strategic Issues (20 minutes) The team will review reports developed by members (or that remain to be drafted if any reports are not yet available) on the Goal 4-related Strategic Issues, as noted in the minutes of the second meeting. The combined report on issues from all teams, from last year, can be accessed at: http://valenciacc.edu/strategicplan/big_2009.cfm where it is listed under the third section, Goal Team Reports on Issues and Initiatives. The team will develop a plan to provide any additional updates and finalize information on the selected issues by the end of March, for the purpose of contributing to a new combined report on the issues, from the 2010-11 teams, to be distributed in May, prior to the Big Meeting on June 2. IV. Review of Major Goal-Related Initiatives and Projects: (60 minutes) The team will review the list of Goal 4-related initiatives and projects developed at its second meeting, and any updates or reports received from members. The minutes of the second meeting contain a list of those who volunteered to develop updates to the reports, or to create new reports in cases in which the Initiative was not reported on by the 2009-10 team. (Some new Initiatives were identified by reviewing the Weave Online report for Goal 4.) The team will plan to complete an updated report on each initiative by the end of March. The report on initiatives from last year’s team can be accessed at: http://valenciacc.edu/strategicplan/big_2009.cfm where it is listed under the third section, Goal Team Reports on Issues and Initiatives. V. Baseline Data – (10 minutes) The team will review the baseline data received to date related to each objective, noting any remaining data to be gathered. Baseline data are being posted to the Goal Teams web page. (The team needs to determine if the list of employers provided at the last meeting can be posted to the public web site, since it includes an indication as to whether the company is a donor to the Foundation.) VI. Review of Assignments and Next Meeting (10 minutes) The team will seek volunteers to complete reports on any Strategic Issues or Initiatives for which reports have not yet been developed, and to submit those by the end of March. Also, the team will seek volunteers to obtain any missing baseline data by the edn of March. At the next meeting (the fourth meeting), to be held before finals week, the team will review all of the reports received on Issues and Initiatives, as well as the baseline data. Based on that review, the team will answer these questions that will be included in the team’s annual report: 1. To what extent has progress been made toward the objectives? What evidence do we have of that progress? 2. Do the current and planned activities in the Strategic Initiatives reports show promise of “moving the needle” on this goal by 2013? 3. Are there significant challenges or opportunities related to this objective that should be noted? 4. Have we learned anything that we are currently using or that we might use to improve the success of future efforts toward achieving Goal 4? 5. Does the team have any recommendations regarding the objectives or the measures being used to gauge progress (as developed by the 09-10 team)? After the team discusses and answers these questions and submits all reports on Issues and Initiatives, the information will be combined into a formal report from the team to the college. The team may opt to review that report electronically, and edit/approve it via email vote, rather than calling a fifth in-person meeting in May.
