Strategic Planning Committee
Minutes/Notes - May 20, 2002
712 College Ave.

Present: Rick Foreman, Wes Miller, Paul Ogren, Sara Penhale, Bob Southard, Monteze Snyder, Margaret Hampton, Doug Bennett, Kirsten Bohl

We discussed draft minutes from our 5/13 retreat. Doug will make revisions and circulate for approval.

The Work Ahead

We reviewed our upcoming work for the summer and fall. In addition to the opening convocation and two Faculty Meetings, we will arrange meetings with students and Employee Council in early September to gather feedback on the draft plan. The Faculty (in September) and the Board (in October) will be asked to approve the final plan.

We will distribute paper copies of the draft plan to the on-campus community in late August, perhaps as a special insert to the Earlham Word. The document will also be available to students, faculty and staff on the Web site.

We agreed the committee will need at least two meetings between the opening convocation (September 4) and the date of the second Faculty Meeting discussion (September 25) to compile feedback and incorporate revisions to the draft. The first will be a dinner meeting on September 4.

June Board Meeting

We made some minor revisions to the committee's interim progress report. We will post the report on the Web site for faculty, staff and students. We will send the report and other materials (including the matrix and white papers) to the ad hoc strategic planning committee of the Board prior to the upcoming June 7-8 Board meeting. We'll meet with the ad hoc committee then, and expect to do additional consultation with them in August.

Next Meeting

Next meeting will be Friday, August 16 from 3:00 till 5:00 p.m., location TBD.
