Compliments of Chartwells for sponsoring the Executive Committee Kick Off Luncheon

Luncheon started at 11:30 a.m., and everybody had an hour to enjoy the lunch.

President Klostermeyer introduced incoming Faculty Association standing committee chairpersons along with the presentation of notebook binders. He thanked the outgoing chairpersons for their service and support. In addition, he participated to thank all the
past Faculty Association presidents including Drs. Steve Shapiro, Judy Solano, Dale Clifford, Kathleen Cohen, Bruce Gutknecht, and Linda Foley.

Chip Klostermeyer provided insight into the duties, roles, and responsibilities of the incoming chairs for the 2007-2008 year: Each committee chair will present a report at the Executive committee meetings and at Faculty Association meetings. Concerns or issues should be brought to the Executive Committee. He reminded new committee chairs to have the committee secretary forward minutes to Cindy, to update their notebooks, and to get the help of the association president if non-active committee members need to be asked to resign. Last, he requested the outgoing and ongoing committee chairs to submit their |2006-2007 Annual Report.
