Minutes

1.  Review of Agenda

2.  Retreat

  • Review notes to this points.  Julia has done some further work.  What should we send to EC?  What should we send to others?  It was determined that Beth should meet with Chris Prom (May 9th) to suggest a plan to EC.  While the Library has something to offer in every area, it apparently was difficult for most people to think at the campus level, so most tables ended up discussing only at the library-level.  Brainstorming showed up some interesting possibilities, but groups need to examine these ideas, and prioritize them, and hone in on specific suggestions.  The 8 files, 6 for each topic, one from Paula Carns and one from Sue Searing, will be sent to EC with the suggestion that either a small working group be assigned to the topic, or it be sent to an existing committee.  Possibilities include:

Education—Lisa Hinchliffe and User education

Information and technology—Beth Sandore and Tom Teper

Energy and environment—Jeff Schrader and the sustainability working group.  Does this still exist?  It was noted that campus does a lot of this and there is a need for a group to advocate for users and staff to be more sustainable.

Social equality and –Cindy Ingold and the Diversity Committee

Health and Wellness—Jeff Schader, Wellness subcommittee, Social Committee

Economic Development—Executive Committee and Beth Sandore.

The staff development and training committee will review the suggestions for training ideas:  Cindy Ingold—Social equality and cultural understanding; Lisa Hinchliffe—Education; Zoe Revell—Health and Wellness; Michael Fleming—Information and Technology; Beth—Energy and Environment; Susan—Economic development.  We will also suggest to EC that the 2 page summary and the revised wordles be sent out to library staff sooner rather than later and the groups assigned to review the summaries and their deadlines.

 

It was also noted that we should devote the last third of a retreat to synthesizing  and opportunities to pursue should we do this again!
