f.

CFTTC i. CFTTC ‘Call for Proposals’ will be e-mailed out soon – this will include a call for proposals for Pre-Conference as well. Send Audra Kimble any ideas for dynamic presenters, ideas, or topics that you would like to see at Pre-Conference. ii. Registration for Pre-Conference will not be capped. There will be no additional fee for Pre-Conference, but registration is required. iii. Audra Kimble is considering asking Kim Munzo, the creator of AspireEdu, to present a Pre-Conference session. i. Policy and Procedure Manual Changes (presented by Tish Stewart). 1. Motion to accept all recommended changes as proposed and outlined on page 55, with the exception of the textbook change on page 18. Jennifer Leimer made a motion. Krista LeBrun seconded. Discussion: Beverlin Givens stated the wording should be “registration” dates rather than “enrollment” dates. The ELCs agreed that the words are synonymous, and “enrollment” could remain in the manual. Motion carried. ii. Update on Attendance Policy 1. Audra Kimble presented the new Attendance Policy, along with background information on why we are asking for a revised policy, to the Academic Officers. There was no discussion at the Academic Officers meeting, and the MSVCC attendance policy that was presented was approved. Academic Officers presented the policy to the Presidents. 1. Audra Kimble stated that the Strategic Plan is a ‘living document’ and should be revisited and updated every six months or so. There were several committee chair changes, committee changes, and status updates. The footer of the document was changed to reflect the October revision. 2. Tish Stewart discussed the need for marketing/global recruitment for the MSVCC, which was included in the Strategic Plan, yet didn’t know how the MSVCC could implement this and keep each college’s autonomy. a. The consortium discussed how not many know what the MSVCC is, and we should really push for getting the word out in publications. Also, ELCs would like to see a joint campaign for getting the word out in radio/television. Audra stated that she would look into getting a Press Release for the marketing of the MSVCC. iii.
