Staff Council Corner

by Susan Thompson

Staff Council meetings are held on a monthly basis, on the second Tuesday of each month from 10:00 a.m. until noon. We meet in JCK 460, the Staff Development training room, and welcome all staff members who are interested to attend our meetings. Notices about upcoming meetings and topics to be addressed by Staff Council can be found on our web site at <http://www.swt.edu/StaffCouncil>.

In an effort to improve communication between Staff Council and SWT staff members, we are speeding up the process of distributing official Staff Council meeting minutes. In the past, we always reviewed and approved meeting minutes during the next meeting, which meant that our minutes were always a month behind. Now, the Council reviews and approves minutes through e-mail so they can be distributed more quickly after each meeting. Minutes are distributed by e-mail to a list of staff members who have indicated an interest in our activities - if you currently aren't receiving our minutes but would like to, send a message to Debi Perkins at dp01@swt.edu and she will add you to the distribution list. Minutes are also posted on our web site, and we have minutes posted there back to 1996.

If you have a concern or issue to bring to Staff Council's attention, call me or send a message to staff-council@swt.edu. We're waiting to hear from you!
