Hi Everyone,
Here's the agenda for the upcoming 8/5 meeting--you can open and print it here, or view it on the Meeting Agendas web page. (The location this time is the Waterman Memorial Lounge--the Davis Center was booked for August.)
It looks to be mostly a session for information and procedures as we get ready for the year starting in September. This will be our first full year of operations under the new by-laws; so a lot of the processes will be new to everyone. Please feel free to bring any suggestions for improvements to the Council's attention--we really want to do the best representing we can.
Don't forget that you're all welcome at all the Council meetings, and also eligible to join one of the standing committees. Information about the committees, lists of current members, and directions on how to apply to join a committee are on the Council Committees web page.
Have a good weekend,
Joanne

Summer Fun
Hi Everyone,
We have a location for the August 5th Full Staff Council meeting--Memorial Lounge of the Waterman Building, at 12:05pm. There won't be an agenda available until a week prior to the meeting--I can post it here then and it'll also be on the Staff Council website.
I've posted 5 Board of Trustee documents (minutes, summaries, etc.) that have been sent to us to make available to the staff. They're linked in the right-hand column as usual, and are probably as exciting, if not less, than the last set. Two of them describe meetings held entirely in executive session! However, the money they're discussing is being measured and moved by the millions-- so we do help the University maintain accountability by reading and keeping these "receipts". OK, duty done-phew!
Next: Beth Wright, our Staff Council Administrator & Ex-officio will be moving to another position for health reasons, and she has been chairing the search committee for her replacement. We've just heard that the committee has chosen Jeff Bukowsi. He is a 2008 UVM MS graduate, and was active as a Graduate Student Senator. We look forward to meeting him in August- welcome Jeff!
That's all I have to report so far, but on a personal note, if you know of anyone in Franklin County who's missing a flock of domestic grouse after the damaging storms this past weekend--they've taken refuge in my backyard. (see photo) Please call to claim them!
Have a good week,
Joanne

Very Brief Update
Hi Everyone,
This is just a very brief update:
There will be a summer meeting of the Staff Council on Tuesday, August 5th, from 12:05 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The location so far is TBA. So is the agenda, although it's pretty likely to be a planning session for the coming year's calendar. I'll post more complete information as I get it--
