Communication with and Recognition of Employees-Maria shared a memo addressed to MAT
Employees and the Division Chairs regarding employee communication and recognition.
This is in response to the accreditation visiting teams recommendation about communicating
with and recognizing our employees.  MAT recognized progress in this area through
things such as orientation and Courier items.  EDT was asked to seek feedback from
a variety of employees to determine rewards that motivate a variety of employees.
Ex: recruiting staff  fun environment; Bill Mullaney - and the Red I awards.  There
was a collaborative learning activity (Jigsaw) held in the library a few years back.
This type of activity could assist employee rewards.  Check on best practices with
other departments that recognize such as when M. Rudibaugh chaired the division. 
Think of plans similar to the retirement plan which provides inclusion and emphasis
at the department level.  Take inventory of what makes a person feel needed.  Grow
the management to know to recognize their employees.  Create a tool kit for the manager.
A suggestion to focus on the servant/leadership model was offered.  This will be discussed
further at upcoming meetings.

Bed Nets-Hand outs were giving on the Malarial Bed Net project.  Information was given
about the history of this Quick Fix project, Rick Reilly, Sr. Writer for Sports Illustrated
starting the project, its connection to the United Nations, and the involvement of
other departments on campus.  CGCC is the first college to get involved and 100% of
the donations go the cause.  Heather and Kim wanted to bring this information to EDT
to see if there was a way to involve the employees in this cause.  This fund raising
activity appears to be more of an employee group level involvement.  Perhaps EDT could
assist to facilitate getting the word out to the various employee groups.  The goal
is to raise $10,000 by the end of spring semester.  It is Kim and Heathers hope that
this is a creative and collaborative experience for everyone.  An employee can donate
in a variety of ways but if an employee could donate through the online methods, the
Gates Foundation will match funds.

EOLT Spring Course Offerings at CGCC-A schedule was handed out and assignments were
divided.  The assigned person would be responsible for marketing, refreshments (Aramark),
room set-up, and host the facilitator.  Margie will check with Sandi to see if the
room reservations and facility sheets have been done.
