Ms. Mulkey gave an overview.
In addition to the NFCC Foundation Quarterly Summary Report (July – September 2014) and information regarding current activities for each of the areas in her department (Development and External Affairs), Dr. Cheryl James mentioned the following:
The NFCC Foundation received a $25,000 donation from Potash to support scholarships in the Automated Production Technology (APT) program and any STEM- related programs.
The NFCC Foundation received a $2,000 donation from Nestle Water to help offset a scholarship for the APT Program.

President Grosskopf reported that last year the Board approved the theory of having a mechanism for the Board members to evaluate themselves and to evaluate the Board as a whole. He advised that Susan Taylor prepared “Draft” evaluation forms in line with SACS
Principles of Accreditation for the Board to review and approve. He advised that these would be new instruments that the Board would complete during the regular annual evaluation cycle in addition to the Evaluations of the President and the Institution. President Grosskopf and
Susan Taylor gave an overview of the forms and the process. Ms. Taylor also mentioned that
Scantron sheets could be made available if the Board so decides on that option for completing the forms. After discussion regarding a couple of minor language revisions, Board members were asked to further review the “Draft” evaluation forms and let Ms. Taylor know of any other changes they believe need to be made.
Chairman Williams reminded the Board that at the November 2014 meeting, the Board heard presentation proposals from two realtors with regards to listing the WSG Mansion, and at that time the Board decided to take some time to review the proposals before making a decision.
He asked if the Board was ready to make a decision, and after discussion, the following motion was made:
MOTION: (Mr. Washington/Mr. Wright) That the District Board of Trustees approves to proceed with a six-month contract with Main Street Realty Co. under the terms presented at the November meeting by Ms. Jessica Webb. After discussion, the motion carried unanimously.
