Navigate Maricopa-College Specific Core-An item of consideration was to utilize the
Hiring the Best course for the colleges stamp.  This would assist the revised Residential
Faculty Policy which now requires anyone chairing a hiring committee to complete the
course prior to serving in the capacity of chair.  While the group felt Hiring the
Best would also be a good choice, the community service piece discussed in the last
EDT meeting best represented the mission and goals of our college.  CGCCs Navigate
Maricopa stamp criteria is to perform six hours of community service.  Brent will
send our decision to Beth Eberhardt.  Service hours can be anything outside of job
scope such as the Relay for Life, service learning projects, etc.  Trina will develop
a form to use in tracking the hours.  Brent is aware of a couple MAT employees that
are near completion of the program.  It will be important to get the CGCC stamp criteria
published.  It is noted that when the administrative leadership promotes the EOLT
courses, the attendance increases.  A recent example would be the MOSAIC series. 
We had strong attendance at both Sessions I and II.  Session IIIA & B are set for
September and October.  President Hesse would be happy to promote these events and
welcomes EDTs request to follow any invitation to attend with a message of encouragement.
The second round of MOSIAC course offerings is anticipated to take place this spring.

Recruitment-The names of various employees were presented in consideration of asking
that they become involved and serve on the EDT committee.  It was agreed that each
current member will make contact with the suggested names and try to build additional
membership with active participation in which to accomplish EDTs goals.  It is noted
that EDT membership should try to reflect a reasonable balanced diversity to include
employee groups, gender, and ethnicity representation when building the team.

Employee Picnic-The theme will be geared toward a fall festival and utilize similar
games and add a fall twist to it. Suggestions included adding hay bails and leaves
for decorations and add apple bobbing, pumpkin decorating, and holding a department-bakeoff
contest as activities.  The VPs could be the judges.  BBQ pork, chicken and baked
beans can be obtained from Aramark and request that employees bring salads or other
items that they wouldnt have to worry about heating.  Beverage selection could consist
of apple cider/juice and water.  An added feature would be to have Dean and the Dropouts
play.  Sandi will check on their availability.  This fall theme will tie in nicely
to the core values.  There was a suggestion to deliver apples to all departments and
use this as a tool to reinforce the core values and encourage attendance to the picnic.
