Stephen Bassett motioned for minutes to be approved, Ruthie Sykes seconded it. Minutes were approved with the no changes.

Rebecca provided feedback about the proposal that was presented to the members of the executive council of the Professional Technical employee association. They suggested the creation of a committee that will oversee the supervisor series program, career connections and the leadership academy. They also suggested allowing individuals who have participated in programs such as the leadership academy to transfer their credits to the supervisor series program. We are waiting to hear from the classified association with their comments abut the proposal. Haydeana will contact Derek Thomas to obtain this information.

-Whitney Feil shared copies of the PEP manual, Goal Setting Manual, Upward Evaluation FAQ’s, Statement of Philosophy page and the committee suggestions. It was agreed by the committee that only one document will be created after combining these documents, to make sure that all of the information is consistent with the process. -Whitney asked the members to do one more revision of the documents; all of the documents will be available via Google docs. She asked the members of the committee to review the comments that were made and decide what changes are to be made. Comments about the manual will be discussed via email and Google docs. -Whitney announced that during the last weeks of April, she will be conducting training s at the campus level for employees and supervisors about PEP. -Whitney proposed that for this year, the Upward Evaluation results that are sent to the next level supervisor be distributed in a more secure way. Instead of sending all the results to the next level supervisor at one time, it will be the next level supervisor’s responsibility to contact Whitney to receive the results for their first level supervisors. In order for the next level supervisor to receive the results, Whitney will confirm that the first level supervisor has completed all of their employee’s PEP, at this point, the next level supervisor will receive the upward evaluation results for their first level supervisor. The committee approved this proposed change. -Jim Malmros answered some questions about online system and the enhancements that his team is in the process of completing.
