Tuesday,
September 12, 2000, HBC room 103.7 Noon – 1:00 PM
The meeting was called to order at
12:05 PM.
Kerry Landfield moved to accept the
minutes from the August 8, 2000 meeting.
Max Landry seconded the motion.
Judy Doyen took a few minutes to recognize
the “old people, outgoing people” of the ACCCEA.
Judy first recognized Rebecca D’Amico who regretfully
has resigned from ACC and was not able to attend the meeting.
Rebecca did have a few words that she wanted Judy to relay
to everyone for her; “For future elections when electing a new
president she would like us to think of electing a diplomat president.”
Judy also thanked Rebecca for everything she has done for the
ACCCEA.
Also recognized was:
Barbara Dickey, Al Kaiser, Shawna Berry, Sonia Stewart, Donna
Pitts, and Millie Marquis. Judy
thanked them for all the hard work they contributed this past year. She also made note that Donna Pitts is the outgoing Secretary but
will remain the ACCCEA Webmaster.
Judy also took a moment to recognize
the new people: Max Landry, Judy Green, Margie Shelnutt, Tracy
Miller-Thomason, George Sweeny, and Matlida Morales.
As the first order of business Judy
presented Max Landry with an ACCCEA T-shirt for volunteering to be
the roaming representative between the campuses.
Judy then presented books to the following
outgoing ACCCEA people: Jeannie
Beach, Mark Goodrich, Melanie Barnes-Plant, Tomi Welch, Jackie Pool,
and Donna Pitts. Judy also presented Barbara Dickey with “How
to Make People Say Yes”, as she is the out-going President Elect.
Barbara presented Judy with “Chicken
Soup for the Unsinkable Soul”.
Judy then took a moment to show everyone her teardrop trophy
and the plaque that was presented to her at the previous meeting.
At 12:20 Barbara officially took over
the meeting. She first announced that the ACCCEA would now
have a donation can for food and beverages, if everyone could occasionally
contribute the money would be used for refreshments for the upcoming
meetings. Barbara also stated
that the ACCCEA brochures have been completed and that she has them
in her office and Human Resources also has them if anyone knows of
someone who may need or want one.
Jackie Pool gave an update about the
emergency fund. The guidelines have been started and emailed
over to Stephanie Diina and Gerry Tucker.
The faculty association also has done the same thing so there
will now be 3 organizations using the SECC Emergency Fund. She also found out that while only we could use the SECC campaign,
11% of what we donate will be taken out for administrative purposes.
Stephanie Diina has stressed that if you send your donation
directly to her that 100% of the donation will be put into the emergency
fund. Long-term medical care
and emergency housing will not be covered. Also hourly employees will not be included
in the Classified fund.
Judy Green presented everyone with
the draft of the Employee Performance Review and the Employee Evaluation
of Supervisor forms that are under review for use in the upcoming
evaluations. The Evaluation of Supervisor forms were made to feel less intimidating
in regards to the wording. The
supervisor is not to see the evaluations you do on them; however,
if you are still worried about your supervisor knowing that you filled
out the evaluation perhaps you can type it instead of writing it,
or have someone else write in your answers.
These evaluations are to be done once a year.
Each supervisor should sit down with individuals at the beginning
of the year to discuss goals, which should be completed, that relate
to the job by the end of the year.
The question was asked “who will actually fill out the
Employee Performance Evaluations if the supervisor is located elsewhere?
Many people would feel it more beneficial to have someone they
work with on a day to day basis fill out their evaluation.”
Judy stated that she would write that down and look into it. If you have any questions you may contact Vicki West at vwest@austin.cc.tx.us.
Judy Doyen spoke about Social Security. She went to the TRS (Teachers Retirement System)
seminar an obtained more information.
She discussed with those at the meeting the different options
that are available including the different balloons to choose from. She stated that she has already sent out information
once but if you are in need of the information she has it and will
get it to you.
Barbara introduced Dr. Allie who presented
Judy Doyen with a plaque that was to be presented to her at the General
Assembly for all of her hard work for the Classified Association.
Barbara announced what committees
were going to need volunteers. Those
committees include: Parking
Appeals Committee, Campus Police Task Force, Facilities Task Force,
Student Services Council and Student Retention Committee.
Barbara will get with Donna to have this information put on
the web page.
Barbara also noted that Matilda Morales
was not able to attend the meeting as she was at a funeral and that
Barbara sent her an email on ACCCEA’s behalf to wish her best
wishes.
Barbara also discussed her talk to
the board. Barbara stated that she read a newspaper article
about NCR regarding 3 issues regarding working: clean environment,
good wages and good hours. We
can’t do anything about the wages; the hours have been set by
the union before us yet we can do something about the environment.
Barbara suggested that if we had clean campuses that people
might be happier to go to work. She
suggested that perhaps if we established some type of group that went
to the campuses to help clean occasionally that not only would this
allow people to interact with each other, see the other campuses,
but it also might build morale throughout the college.
Barbara also stated that the next
officers meeting with Dr. Fonte is scheduled for the 21st
of September.
The meeting adjourned at 1:04 PM.
Respectfully submitted by:
Tracy Miller-Thomason, ACCCEA Secretary
