Staff Advisory Committee  Meeting

May 12, 2016 8:35 AM RH-102

Members Present: Debbie Powell, Jamie Black, Scott Jaeschke, Beth Byars, Susan Womack

Members Absent: Tracy Wood

 Jessica Scott is leaving the College and will no longer be serving on SAB. 

 A quorum was present so the meeting proceeded. 

 Review of the Minutes

 The minutes from April were approved without amendment.

 Ongoing Business

 The members reviewed the Pendleton Campus spring cookout: the overall consensus was that everything went well—Lou’s set up and staffing were on point (no lines for food), Jamie’s work with the grill was excellent, and Stacy’s DJ connection performed admirably. Jamie mentioned that he can continue to bring the grill so long as the timing remains such that classes are done but the work study students are still available.

 Below are the winners of the ten QT $20 Gift Cards given away during the event:

1.         Lori Burkett

2.         Val Cela

3.         Susan Curtis

4.         Melissa Dover

5.         Bailey Duncan

6.         Laura McClain

7.         Cheryl Garrison

8.         Adam Ghiloni

9.         Diana Walter

10.       Caroline Williams

The Chair estimated there is $2,000 currently left in the budget.  Staff at the Anderson Campus have decided to host their event on Monday 5/16 from 12-1:00 and staff at the Easley Campus have decided on Friday 5/20 (time TBD). Decorative centerpieces were discussed as these events will be indoors. It was also decided to raffle off one $20 QT gift card each at the community campuses given the smaller staffs.

The Chair anticipated having approximately $1,600 left in the fund after the community campus events. Discussion ensued about what to do with these monies. One option discussed was to purchase more gift cards and hold them in reserve for next year’s board members to distribute as prizes. Scott asked about using some of the funds to purchase educational resources or memberships for the employees—he received approval from the group to inquire about the eligibility and the actual need and to report back at the next meeting.

Members were informed that next year the event funds for SAB will change to coming from the College rather than coming from the Foundation. It was the general belief that nothing material should change in day-to-day business as we have been following state guidelines anyway. Members also confirmed the staff departures from the board and speculated when they would be replaced by HR and the Executive Staff.

Adjournment at 9:01 AM
