The Faculty Development Mission, which is taken for the Faculty Development Statement was distributed.

3. Faculty Development Sub Committees - two sub committees were organized and volunteers agreed to serve on them.
   1. Activities Sub Committee - Guy and Charlene agreed to serve on this sub committee
   2. Newsletter Sub Committee - Chris agreed to serve on this sub committee. Jerry stated he will do most of the writing and layout for the Newsletters and will ask Chris to edit. He also asked her to look at old Newsletters on the Faculty Development website to get ideas for article and features for this year's Newsletters. Jerry also asked the committee members to send him names of colleagues who have professional development items - conference attendance, book publication, presentations, etc., which we can include in the Faculty Spotlight section of the Newsletter.

4. Fall Activities - Jerry referenced the results of the Faculty Development Survey. He also stated that several workshops have already been scheduled. Last week a New Faculty and Lecturer Workshop was presented and today and tomorrow a Contract Renewal and Tenure/Promotion Dossier Preparation Workshop is being presented. Jerry has met with Jan Petersen and three Distance Education Workshops have been scheduled for the semester. These will be open to the faculty at large. Jerry also stated he will organize a monthly Teachers Talking Seminar. One topic will be Best Practices of Laulima and another will be a mini Great Teachers Seminar with faculty asked to bring an innovation or teaching challenge to share. Jerry stated he would be meeting with Kimberley Gallant, Mental Health Counselor, to set up a series of workshops educating faculty colleagues about her services. Chris stated that this would address several items on the Faculty Development Survey.

5. Faculty Development Foundation Account - A current account statement was distributed. Jerry noted that the committee spent more money than was made last year but that is OK. Money was donated to several worthwhile causes including lunch for High School to HCC participating faculty, money to support the Wo Innovation in Learning Day in March and lunch for a Service Learning all-day meeting. Jerry stated that other committees often request $25-30 for refreshments during the year. He will always poll the committee members on spending the requested money before a commitment is made.
   1. State Poultry Processors, Inc. - Jerry stated he has talked to this bar-b-que chicken organization and to Ken Kato. Ken will allow them to cook and sell chickens in the Admin parking lot once a quarter. The organization is anxious to do this and will share the profits with the Faculty Development Committee. They will pick a date and Jerry will fill-out the necessary paperwork for this to happen.

6. Faculty Professional Development money for 2008-09 - Ken Kato has set aside $10,000 to support faculty professional development this academic year. The committee will have a fall and spring call for applications. The application form and fall deadline will be discussed at the next committee meeting.

7. Entertainment Book Sales - The committee will once again sell 40 Hawaii Entertainment Books this fall. Each committee member was given three books to sell. Jerry stated that Steven Chu from Auto Body was on the committee the last two years and has agreed to sell books. He currently has eight to sell. The price remains at $30.00. Jerry will send out an email to the campus announcing this sale tomorrow.

8. Faculty Mentoring Program - Jerry distributed a Faculty Mentoring Form. A mentoring program will be reinstituted this fall. The deadline for submission is September 19. Jerry also encouraged members to become a mentor for the program. Mentor/mentoree linkups would be made during the next meeting.
