Old Business

1. State Poultry Processors Chicken Sales - Jerry stated that he has not received a check from State Poultry Processors for the September and October chicken sales events. He called them recently and they are sending the check. Ralph stated he came to campus on September 27 and did not see any activity and wondered if the sales event did take place that day. Jerry stated as far as he knows it did take place. Jerry said he would email the Committee members with the amount of the check when he receives it.

2. Entertainment Book sales - There are only a few books left to sell. The members who have books were asked either to return them to Jerry or return checks for the books. Jessica stated she will find out tomorrow if a student will buy her last book.

1. Fall Activities - Jerry stated that Keith Kashiwada, Associate Professor Speech, Kapiolani CC will come to campus this Friday and offer a workshop titled, "Gabbers, Gripers, Groaners...How to Bring Out the Best in Them." This is a Wo Speakers Bureau presentation, co-sponsored by the Faculty Development Committee and Staff Development Committee. A short discussion of the Wo Speakers Bureau program was held. Kyle, a current Honolulu CC Wo Learning Champion, stated that one of the goals for his generation of Wo's is for each campus to bring a speaker from another campus to present a workshop. There is no charge for speakers from the Speakers Bureau list. If travel is needed, the Wo Foundation will pay for it. Jerry encouraged members to check out the list and see if there are other speakers we should bring to campus for presentations. The Committee members agreed to provide up to $30 for refreshments for the presentation this Friday.

2. Library Workshop - Carol at the last meeting stated she and Stefanie Sasaki wanted to present a Library information workshop for faculty and staff this fall. They have become very busy with student instructional workshops so will offer a workshop in the spring semester. They will title the workshop, "Twelve Exciting Things You Can Learn from a Librarian."

3. WILD - March 5, 2010 - Kyle summarized the preliminary planning for the spring event. Although there will be two new Wo Learning Champions onboard by this time, Kyle and Shanon Miho, the current Wo Learning Champions, did not have a WILD to plan and coordinate, so they will help the new Wo's with this. The Faculty Development Committee and the Staff Development Committee will also, as usual, be involved with the planning and coordination. Kyle stated that the planned theme for the day is sustainability. He anticipates presentations and breakouts in the morning on the concepts and overview of energy sustainability with hands-on activities in the afternoon applying what was covered in the morning. Ken Johnson and his sustainability committee are aware of the theme and are excited to help out. Ralph stated that February 2 is the 90th birthday of HCC and asked if this could also be included in the sustainability theme. Jerry asked about the possibility of an afternoon off-campus excursion. Ralph suggested going to a taro loi. There is one at UH Manoa. Those who want, can get dirty; others can just watch if they so choose. Kyle agreed that an afternoon bonding activity is important. It was suggested that Kimo be asked about Hawaiian sustainability methods and locations for a possible excursion. It was agreed that a $5 registration fee will be collected for the day.

4. Faculty Development Committee Charter - Each member received a copy of the Committee Charter. Jerry stated that the Committee Charter needs to be reviewed annually. He recently worked with Ron Pine, Chair Faculty Senate Executive Committee, to make some minor changes to the Charter. These included deleting the wording "Academic Development Plan" from the Charter and replacing Chancellor with Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs as the point of contact for the Coordinator for identifying a Admin Liaison for the Committee.

5. Fall Faculty Professional Development Fund Applications - Jerry distributed a summary of the Faculty Professional Development Fund Applications received by the October 30 deadline. Most were for major travel to Mainland conferences and were deferred until the spring. Stefanie Sasaki requested to attend the Hawaii Great Teachers Seminar next summer. She will be give priority when the attendees are selected in the spring. Shanon Miho requested $2500 to pay for three Academic Impression consultants to come and do customized assessment training for the Student Services staff. After a lengthy discussion, it was decided to award $1500. Ralph stated he believes Sandy Matsui, Dean of Student Services, is applying for a Federal TARP grant to pay for this activity. It was stipulated if money from others sources is acquired to fully fund this activity, the Professional Development Fund money be return to the Faculty Development Committee. It was also stipulated that the Assessment Committee members be invited to this training.

1. Jerry thanked Jessica for bringing cookie treats to the meeting

2. Guy announced that a gala fundraiser will take place in April. Money from the fundraiser will help establish an endowment for student scholarships. He said that the honor interviewees from the HCC 90th Anniversary Oral History Project will be recognized and presented with a wooden bowl at the event.

3. There will be no December meeting unless a pressing need arises. Jerry encouraged all to attend the HCC Christmas Party which will take place on Wednesday, December 16.
