A quorum was present so the meeting proceeded.
Review of the Minutes
The minutes from 2/11 were approved without amendment.
Ongoing Business
The committee members checked in with each other about the
Spring event—Scott’s ideas from the February session did not end up being feasible
(we can’t blend pools of money to co-sponsor an event); the cookout was
discussed as our best option. Debbie agreed to check with our colleagues in HR
that such an activity could contribute toward meeting all or most of our
chartered objectives.Dates for the cookout were reviewed: Wed 5/4 was viewed as the best option—Dr. Booth and the café were both available and it’s the day that grades are due so employees will still be present;. Debbie agreed to work with Sandra Dacus on food (possibly including ice cream due to our budget surplus from the last event); it was agreed that Lou’s comprehensive event form would be addressed—Debbie volunteered to attempt it first and promised to bring in others as needed on logistics. Beth started a discussion about table decorations or things to raffle off. It was agreed that the answer to this question would hinge on what Debbie heard from HR about meeting our objectives.
Jessica agreed to rework last year’s invitation in
consultation with our colleagues in Marketing. The potential for John Woodson
to provide canned music was also discussed, as was the possibility of raffling
off tickets as has been done in the past (apparently the Foundation no longer
has a connection for GA Aquarium or Biltmore tickets). The red TCTC gym bags
were cited as an option to check in about.
Closing Business
The next meeting date was tentatively scheduled for 4/14 at 2 PM.
The meeting adjourned at 8:54 AM.
Addendum to the Minutes
The cookout date was later revised to Monday 5/2/16 to avoid a conflict with convocation.
