Old Business
Anniversary Cards: Dave would like to withdraw the bookstore participation in the gift certificate with regards to the producing of the gift certificates.
“And We Stayedâ€, a video: There was discussion on whether new hires should see it….a majority of the SAEC voiced that it would not be in the best interest of the new hire to see it when first hired…perhaps after 6 months or so. There was also discussion on how to show it to staff. Thayne McCulloh suggests we show it at the open staff meeting. The discussion after the video is still a concern. Keith suggested to Raymond Reyes that the members of the SAEC would be willing to become facilitators for the discussion that needs to come from the showing of the video.
Trustee Draft – No other changes suggested but adding staff as stakeholders.
SAEC goals for the 0203-year include working on the wages, compensation and benefits issues as shown in the last survey.
