Old Business

Staff AssemblyNewsletter. Community Outreach would like to post the newsletter.  The open space left for compensation committee will be changed to include the 5 top ideas for the upcoming Professional Development luncheons that Staff Assembly will sponsor with HR.  Marcia is meeting with Tricia Burns tomorrow to go over details and then will write an article for the newsletter & submit to Sandra Boyd for printing & posting to the web.

Budget Committee Update: At this point, the UBC is unchanged and will still have representation from the staff.  It is the responsibility of the SAEC to help the representatives come up with proposed ideas for the budget agenda and have these to Chuck Murphy no later than the first of October.  Faculty Senate is still deciding on whether they will have an Academic Budget Committee.  Plans are on hold until the fall.  Staff under the AVP will have representation on this committee if it comes to fruition.  Angela Ruff with alternate Georgia Dunham will represent the staff.

Compensation Committee Ballots -   Tabled until next week.  Krystal is on vacation and Mary Beth is not at the meeting today for an update.

Picnic Update -  GSBA has been asked to provide some volunteers for the July 23rd event.  Marcia has taken care of the liquor license for the beer garden.
