Roger Morris has volunteered to represent Service
Maintenance on Staff Council. Thank you and welcome to Staff Council! Janie
Loney talked with several folks in Service Maintenance regarding participating
on Staff Council via e-mail. Apparently, this procedure was implemented in the
past with limited success. There was not an interest at this time in
re-implementation. Discussed the remaining opening in the Service Maintenance
area for Staff Council. Staff Council members voted to leave the remaining
position open in Service Maintenance at this time. Efforts would be made at
Staff Council election time to fill both positions. Vote was unanimous in
favor.
Applications for Staff Council scholarships were received
from the following folks: Megan Renwick, Beth Roberts, Tom Harris, Ashley
Troncin and Charlotte Dubois. The Scholarship Committee (Steven Clark (Chair),
Lesley Deal and Jeff Gillenwater) proposed awarding scholarship nominations for
Spring, 2005 to the following:
Academic Honorarium: ($150.00 Award Per Person)
Megan Renwick
Charlotte Dubois
Book Honorarium: ($50.00 Award Per Person)
Beth Roberts
Tom Harris
Human Resources was asked to provide the length of service
for each applicant. As part of the selection process, length of service will
be the distinguishing factor in the event of more than one person qualifying.
Per the guidelines, two awards were awarded per category. The Committee
reported that none of the applicants had received any monies in the past.
Staff Council members voted to award the Academic and Book Honorariums as
proposed by the Scholarship Committee. Vote was unanimous in favor. A letter
with accompanying check will be sent to each recipient. Congrats to each
recipient. Thank you to the Scholarship Committee for an excellent job!
Discussed the awarding of Staff Council funds for staff
members who need assistance during the holiday season. Several applications
have been received. All information on this request is to be kept
strictly confidential. Staff Council members voted to purchase gift
certificates at WalMart for distribution.
Discussed the Mission Differentiation Project. Janie Loney received
several comments from staff regarding revisions to this project. These
comments were relayed to the Committee.
Janie Loney wanted to remind all Staff Council members that
we will need to start working on the Style Show after the first of the year.
NEXT STAFF COUNCIL MEETING: January 18, 2005 - 10:00 a.m. – Scribner/Clark Room.
