PSLT Chair
Report
Debi Jakubcin presented various topics and requested Team input.
1. New members need to speak with Don Burlinson to get their picture taken
for the PSLT web page. Then, they must speak with Melanie Price so she
may update the web site.
2. She asked that we review the PSLT Vision, Mission and Purpose and
Groups for possible changes.
a. We should e-mail her any suggested changes.
b. We should also send her any groups that PSLT is a part of and are not
listed here so she may update the list.
c. If Professional Staff Development Day becomes a yearly event it should
be listed.
3. We reviewed the PSLT Inquiry Tracking Matrix and updated the issues.
Issues that were already resolved or could be deferred were indicated so on
the matrix. Debi will update the matrix.
a. The issue of Collaboration within the college was brought forward.
After discussion, Debi added it to the matrix.
4. There was discussion of our collaboration as professionals to help drive the
Strategic Goals of the College. All the goals were deemed important to

support, but Goal # 3, Invest in Each Other, and Goal # 4, Partner with the
Community were emphasized. We currently participate in these efforts, for
example working with Habitat for Humanity for Goal # 4.
a. Participating on the Planning Committee of the Lake Nona Campus can
be one such effort. Debi will ask Mike Bosley if a PSLT member can
join this committee.
b. Donna Kosloski is a member of the Data Team. If this team includes a
representative of area, she can be the PSLT representative. If so, this
would also be added to our ‘Getting Involved’ list.
5. Debi informed the Team of our next meeting on September 14, 2009 at the
East Campus. If there are no agenda items brought forward, she will cancel
the meeting. No meeting is scheduled for August 2009 nor January 2010.
Professional
Staff
Development
Day
Joe Nunes explained the purpose of the flashlight survey to our new members and
the changes he made. He asked for feedback on these changes. The feedback
given was: 1) the date may be a conflict, particularly for those working the College
Night on East and Osceola Campuses; 2) a suggestion to possibly integrate it with
the Fall Forum on October 14, 2009; 3) possibly making questions open-ended, i.e.
for #s 3, 6, 7, and 13; 4) the question was posed that would people attend if we
have speakers and workshops/break-out sessions? Possibly have one keynote
speaker to kick it off; 5) to give it a different name (send suggestions to Debi
Jakubcin).
