SOUTHWEST EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEETING MINUTES

SEPT. 6, 2006

The meeting, which was chaired by Chairperson Jessica Kondel, convened at 1:30 p.m. and adjourned at 2:00 p.m.

Attendees: Jessica Kondel, Rod Miller, Miki Hirano, Rosemary Troian. Absent: Jerry Norton, Rick Rogers, Tracy Snell, Stefan Leeb, Jeff McLain and Advisor: Maria Harris

1. The meeting was called to order at 1:00 p.m.

2. Since we did not have a quorum, we did not vote on acceptance of the July minutes.

3. Officers’ Reports:

a. Chairperson’s Report: Jessica reported that since Maria Harris was going to talk about hiring employees with mental disabilities and Maria was absent, we had to forego this item.

4. Subcommittee Report:

a. Program: We will be holding a program subcommittee meeting on Thurs. Sept. 7 at 2:00p.m. With regard to the IDP workplan, Rosemary said that she would look through the IDP documents to see if she can find a list of links which was handed out two years ago. If she can find this list, she will check the links.

Everyone agreed that the IDP draft email, approval memo, and Survey Monkey screen shot were ok. Jessica will forward the approval memo to Rod McInnis and then will send the memo down to Rosemary to get Bill Fox’s signature. Getting the results of the survey will be interesting.

Since Jerry Norton was not on the call, we had no update on the intern workplan.

Rosemary had a new idea about a financial planning workplan, but Rod said that he thought this would be an HR responsibility.

b. Administrative: Because Natalie Huff had so many cautions on the draft disabilities information document, we’ve decided to simplify the sheet and perhaps just provide bullet points. Miki will work on that. Once that is finalized, Tony Morton will bring the information to the RMT meeting and Rosemary will bring it to the SWC staff meeting.

EEO Bulletin Board: Rosemary was asked to try and find someone in La Jolla who would be willing to keep this bulletin board up to date. In the meantime, Miki will send a list of things to be posted and Rosemary will check our bulletin board to see what shape it is in.

c. Personnel - No report.

5. Old Business:

Workplans were discussed under Subcommittee reports.

6. New Business:

Jessica reminded us that there are a number of people’s appointments which will expire at the end of this calendar year. People should be thinking about whether they wish to stay on the committee and of people that might like to serve on the committee next year.

7. Announcements: None.

8. Next Meeting Date: Oct. 4, 2006, at 1:00 p.m.

9. The meeting was adjourned at 2:00 p.m.
