Sheila King had asked to be added to the meetings because she did not have a representative, so Sheila was added to the Staff Representative Group for the office of Associate Dean for Faculty Research. Since there were some new people attending, Sally reminded everyone that the meeting was to be held in confidence so that everyone could feel that they could speak openly.

The by-laws are being reviewed and will be coming out with an update. The Statewide Staff Council meeting is October 2-3 at Augusta State College. The deadline is September 15th to register.
A staff concern issue was brought up: Did anyone receive their raise sheet? Many people like to keep them in their personal files. Sally said she would contact Dr. Gustavson about them. Sally said she is meeting with Dr. Gustavson about the staff awards for every 5 years. She will also ask about faculty not taking sick leave like the staff members do. Sally announced that there was money in the staff fund to send a representative to the Statewide Staff Council meeting. If anyone goes, she would like to have a report. It was brought up to ask Susan Cabe if the staff can do anything to help out since the custodians are short handed. Sally said she would speak to Susan.
