DEVELOPMENTAL ED: Presented by Chair Camilla Westenberg
35 people have confirmed participation in J. Giles Workshop, committee will be formed from participants at this event. Committee will work on defining/creating an outcomes statement.

GOVERNING BOARD REPORT: Reviewed cover sheet, specifically the format section. Discussed the content and format of the Executive Summary from PC. Decided each outcome area (8 total) would write own summary of about 150 words (2/3 page). These individual summaries/sections would use the Format paragraph from the cover sheet as a guide. The PC report will have an introduction and a conclusion to be written by Steering Team Chair, Brent Jameson. All Outcome Chairs will give their summaries to Brent by Nov. 16th to allow time to compile report and present to Steering Team, DI and President for approval.
FEBRUARY STRATEGIC CONVERDSATION W/ BOARD: Discussed the following format - Concurrent presentations by all colleges of 15 minutes (with time limit strictly enforced) repeated several times with 5 minutes between sessions to allow audience/ board members to move from one presentation to the next. Recommend that these presentations actually be in a panel format, allowing different outcome committees the opportunity to discuss their work. Also recommend that a media presentation precede panel and a Q & A period follow panel.

OTHER:
Question to Chair of Steering Team and/or Dean of Instruction, Outcome Committee Chairs currently have an agreement of reassigned time (for 2 years) for their work as a Chair. If the faculty member is willing to continue their work ("reenlist") to as Outcome Committee Chair after the initial 2 years, does he/she get reassigned time for 2 or more years? Will reassigned time be given every year to every Outcome Committee Chair?

NEXT STEERING TEAM MEETING: T B A

Respectfully submitted,
Maria Enciso
