Subcommittee Reports:
- Program: There were no meetings in September.
Rosemary is working with the committee on establishing regular meetings.
- Administrative: They held a quick meeting in
September and updated their draft Student Intern Work Plan. Look for an article and
picture of their student intern in the next NOAA Diversity Newsletter.
- Personnel: A meeting was held on 9/22/05 which was
very productive. See Old Business for details. Next meeting is scheduled for 10/13/05 at

Old Business:
- Draft Guidelines for Interview Questions (Personnel Sub.):
Nancy updated the group on additions to the questionnaire from Barbara Schloetter, WASC.
There was a group discussion and it was approved. Jeremy will forward the questionnaire to
interviewers throughout the region with a hard deadline to respond with their
comments/questions.
- Listserver Status Update (Personnel Sub.): Jeff
updated the group on his efforts and progress to produce automated job search e-mails from
Quick Hire. If queries from Quick Hire can be successfully pasted into e-mail, they can be
sent to the ListServer for distribution to target addresses. He’s been having a
problem getting it to work, so Rick Rogers has been assisting him by working on it.
- Publicity of Student Contributions in the SWR (Admin.
Sub.): Again, look for next NOAA Diversity Newsletter for picture and article on
student intern.
- Draft Work Plan: IDP Training Follow-up (Program Sub.):
Rosemary has been revising the work plan.
New Business:
- Draft Intern Work Plan (Norton and Troian): Jerry
would like to kick around ideas with people that have used student interns as to what will
benefit both the intern and the staff. Ideas and a discussion can be conducted by
contacting jerry at jerrold.g.norton@noaa.gov.
- SW EEOAC Mentor Program (Personnel Sub.): Jeff McLain
attended an AFS Conference where there was a session in which someone spoke about a
mentoring program for minorities. He did not attend the session, but contacted the speaker
of the session who clarified that he did not have such a program. He does, however, have a
program that helps students manage their careers. Jeff will check with AFS to see if they
have anything related to mentoring programs.
Announcements: None.
Next Meeting Date: November 2, 2005, at 1:00 p.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:45 p.m.
