Promised Updates!

Hi Everyone,

As promised, the Agenda for the upcoming meeting (8/4) is now accessible on the Staff Council website.

One agenda item of interest: last May 2009, Kathryn Friedman and Diane Gaboriault of the Diversity & Equity Unit spoke to the Council about the upcoming Campus Climate Survey. They've now requested the Council to appoint one of our elected members to participate in a working group which will focus on the Survey--nominations are being accepted now, and the choice will be made by President Beth Walsh by the end of next week. For the 2005 Campus Climate Survey Study Report that contributed to this current project, follow this link: http://www.uvm.edu/~aaeo/pdf/ccs_final_exec_summary_report_web_082406.pdf

In spite of the extra work of pocking up and moving the office, the Council staff still hope to get a summer issue of the Staffline published in early August. We're keeping the PDF format for now, until we hear from the Web Team that their newsletter template is ready for "beta" testing. Then we can try both for awhile, and see which format people prefer.


Those are all the latest updates for now; have a good week,

Joanne
