1. Spring Activities: Jerry shared a flyer with the committee members on an upcoming Learning Information Skills workshop using Learning Information Literacy Online (LILO). This will be co-offered with the Library. Xin Li will be the presenter and it will be offered in the Library on March 23 at 3:00 pm. Jeannie shared two handouts from Jeffrey Owens who will be presenting the spring Lunch and Learn workshop. The committee members decided that Jeannie should ask him to do a presentation on Identity Theft and Personal Security. If these two topics are too much for a 90-minute presentation, Identity Theft would be the priority topic. Wednesday, April 12 at 12 noon in 2-214 was chosen for the workshop. Jerry announced a two-day, train-the-trainer workshop to be offered on May 15 and 16. It will be on recruiting and retaining females into male dominated CTE programs and presented by Donna Milgram of the National Institute for Women in Trades, Technology and Science. Each community college will get three seats at this workshop. He asked the committee members to discuss this with their colleagues and help identify the HCC participants.

2. WILD Debrief: Sheryl shared information on last week's WILD. Although not complete, the evaluations indicated that there was overwhelming approval of the activities for the day. There were 118 pre-registrations and 14 registrations at the door. Fifty-eight faculty and staff members participated in the Bishop Museum excursion. With money collected from the attendees for lunch and money supplied by the Wo Learning Champion project, no Faculty Development or Staff Development money was needed. The money left over will be used for the after-graduation party. Lunches were purchased for all speakers/presenters. When the final report for WILD is completed, Sheryl will send a copy to Jerry to share with the committee members.

3. Faculty Development Newsletter: Rona reported that Silvan Chung would write an article for the Spring Faculty Development Newsletter. There are two new faculty members to highlight in the newsletter. Jerry stated the newsletter will be published on April 21 and Silvan should have her article to him by Monday, April 17.

4. Professional Development Awards: Six applications for Faculty Professional Development funding were received. The total amount of the six requests was $4995. These were all approved. $3000 was set aside to fund three Honolulu CC faculty to attend the Hawaii Great Teachers Seminar on the Big Island this summer. Jerry stated that there should be matching Perkins funds to send one or two additional CTE faculty to the seminar.

5. After Graduation Party: Jeannie stated that she would again help organize this party, which will be held at the Shell after graduation. She said that she will work with Emily Kukulies on the party. It was decided that $5 will be collected from each faculty and staff member attending to help pay for the food and drinks at the party. Jerry volunteered to collect the money - cash only. There is bottled water left from WILD that will be served at the party. Jeannie will be asking for help as the date gets closer.

1. Jerry thanked the members for their contributions on the committee this year. He stated that he hopes those serving on their first year will indicate they want to serve again next year. He stated there will be new members from Tech 1, Tech 2 and PCATT next year.

2. Jeannie shared a flyer with the committee members on an upcoming Pearl Harbor Job Fair that will be held at the Marine Education and Training Center on Saturday, March 25. She asked for assistance in helping attendees to the job fair with logging on to a computer and signing up for an e-mail account.

3. Jeannie stated that even though she would not be on the Faculty Development Committee next year, she would help coordinate the after-graduation party. Lisa said she looks forward to helping with the next WILD in two years.

4. The next meeting was set for Thursday, April 20 at 3:00 pm in the Pearl Harbor training building. Jeannie will host the meeting, which will include a short tour of her facilities at Pearl Harbor. Jerry will drive him van and take committee members because he has privileges to get on the base.
