I.    Agenda Item:   Pro Tech or Classified-What determines the employee’s classification?

Suzanne told the assembled members the ProfTech employee association has approached us about merging with the Classified Association. Judy doyen stated that merging the Associations would put some members in the same Association with their supervisor. The fact that the Classified would not have as much representation as they currently do was discussed. It was decided by the Association that the Classified would not merge with the ProfTech, but would work closely with them.

2.   Agenda Item:  Fund Raising for the coming year.

The Classified Emergency Fund is depleted at this time. Several Fund Raising ideas such as a car wash, bake sale, Fall Festival, chili cheese dog sale, silent auction, and a dollar days promotion were discussed. Melissa Brown agreed to organize the dollar days promotion and Clark Peterson volunteered to chair a committee to work on a silent auction.

3.  Agenda Item:  Social Security Program for Classified Staff only or for all employees?

Suzanne asked the Association members if they wanted to meet with the Social Security representative again this year. We will schedule a time for the social Security Association to present a program for the Classified Association. We will try to obtain the multipurpose room at the EVC for a future meeting. Locations for future 2008 meetings were discussed. Tobin will make arrangements at the Northridge Campus and Melissa will make arrangements at the Pinnacle Campus.

5.  Agenda Item:  Realignment of Top Administrative Staff.

Suzanne asked the members about any questions they may have about the realignment of Dr. Kinslow’s top Administrative Staff and the reason behind it. No one had questions.

6.  Agenda Item:  Subcommittee appointments.

Many of the  Association’s subcommittees are lacking representatives. Suzanne asked for volunteers for the subcommittee to revise the by-laws. Nicole Bell suggested the officers take on that task.

7. Agenda Item:   Additional representatives for some campuses.

Classified Association representatives are still needed for some campuses and volunteers may contact Suzanne Ortiz about volunteering..

The meeting adjourned at 1:00 p.m.
