Subject: Officers' Breakfast Meeting Follow-up

Dear Officers of Standing Committees,
I would like to thank Jude Hirsch, Jerry Fly, Eustace Palmer, Cheryl Reynolds, Ken McGill, and Bill Wall for attending the Officers' Breakfast meeting this morning with the Executive Committee.  This very important meeting was sponsored by the President and organized by the Executive Committee.  We had a productive meeting and shared valuable information regarding the new procedures for conducting Standing Committee business.  We also discussed the roles and responsibilities of officers. Several of the topics centered on how information flows (or doesn't flow) in, through, and out of Standing Committees and the University Senate.  I was personally a bit disappointed that we had two Standing Committee Chairs absent,  two Vice Chairs absent, and two Secretaries absent. The Executive Committee is committed to following-up on the procedural points raised at the meeting and will seek out solutions to address them.  I only wish we could have had input from everyone.

For those of you who were not present, the food was delicious, the information was important, and discussion was rich.  Information packets were distributed detailing some of the information covered at this meeting, the rest was gleaned from discussion. You will need to contact the following people to discuss specifics of the meeting and collect your packet.

Academic Governance: Patti Tolbert and Mike Whitfiled contact Jude Hirsch.

Budget and Planning:   Greg Jarvie and Jason Huffman contact Jerry Fly.

Student Affairs:        Roxanne Farrar contact Eustace Palmer and Cheryl Reynolds.

University Services:    Megan Melancon (when you return home) contact Ken McGill and Bill Wall.

Please know that the Executive Committee stands ready to assist you in any way possible as you conduct the business of the University Senate through these Standing Committees.  Don't hesitate to contact us directly if you have questions at ecus@gcsu.edu.

Thanks to all of you who contributed your time, ideas, and creative solutions this morning.

Respectfully,
Betty Block, Chair Executive Committee
