Old Business
Previous meeting minutes were approved. David Cazalet moved to accept the minutes and Pat Myers seconded the motion.
Nancy Rasnake presented the treasurer’s report. Although the exact amount is currently unknown, there are funds remaining in the account. Members discussed whether to use the remaining money to run the council or return it to the general funds at the end of the semester. Some ideas included purchasing books for the council, establishing a retreat for members, and making a down payment for a future speaker in the professional development series. The council will revisit this topic at the next meeting.
The group discussed the purpose of the committee, as specified in the constitution.
The next workshop in the professional development series, “Stop Worrying,” is scheduled for April 2 at 3:00 in the Goins Auditorium. Recordings of prior events can be found on the blog.
The auction is scheduled to run from April 9 at 2:00 PM through April 11 at 2:00 PM. Lois Williams reported that no one has agreed to co-chair the event this year or take over responsibilities for the event next year.
Nancy Rasnake reported that the council’s first book sale raised $981 for the scholarship. She recommended keeping the book sale separate from the secondhand heart sale in the future in order to avoid confusion.
New Business
Pat Myers discussed this year’s internal giving campaign, “Glad to Give,” which features photographs and quotes from employees. Forms have been distributed to all full-time employees.
The meeting adjourned at 9:45 a.m.
Recorder: Brandon Ballentine
