1) The Team welcomed Pam Davenport and Darby Heath to the meeting.  They were giving
an update of the Renewal and Reflection meetings and in particular the spring semester
meeting on January 4, 2008 where there were 40 participants.  

The question posed to the group was how to grow the R&R initiative and get more people
involved.  The main objective of R&R is to inspire people to do a better job in performing
their responsibilities and to bring a holistic, integrated approach to their work
contributions.

Some of the topics explored were:
 What is the mission and purpose
 How can EDT help in this initiative
 How can we get more people to attend
 Perhaps get manager approval and encouragement to attend these sessions
 Perhaps a name change

It was explained that this is a formation based upon the Richland College model. 
The CGCC R&R meetings are an ongoing process - meeting once a month, which is three
times a semester.  It is not structured; it is an ongoing session with smaller circles
as an option.  Darby and Pam are trying to make it convenient for all to participate.


It was also stressed that this is not just for faculty, but all employee groups, PSA,
MAT, M&O, Crafts, College Safety and Faculty, all are strongly encouraged to attend.


It was concluded that marketing is very important to the success of this initiative.
It is necessary to establish the importance that this is to become part of the CGCC
fabric. 

It was suggested that if all of the Administrative leaders would become involved in
spreading the word, or perhaps a well placed email from the President or VP could
lead the greater promotion for the R&R

Also suggested was a web presence for the R&R for information and testimonials.  

Pam and Darby shared that there will be a Data and Formation Retreat, away from CGCC,
on April 4, thru 6, 2008, for approximately 25-30 people, at the COD Ranch in Oracle,
AZ.

It was decided that an EDT team member will purchase a case of water and a bag of

3) A question was raised as to where we stand with so many agenda items on the list,
specifically Rewards and Recognition.  It was commented that this was one of the WIGS
for this year and Rewards and Recognition has been on the agenda for quite some time.
It was mentioned that given the minimal time available, we may want to look to a subcommittee
to focus on R & R

End of Meeting.
