Welcome: Corri Edwards

• Officers looked at the survey results from the Staff Forum survey sent out a few weeks ago. The results showed 5 consistent topics:

o Meeting Length. Keep the meetings to one hour in length.
o Web Site. A super web site was created last year by last year’s officers. Current officers will continue to update it and also have a new blog where meeting minutes and other resources will be posted.
o Guest Speaker. We will solicit internally for guest speakers to share their knowledge on topics regarding healthy living.
o Fun- The purpose of Staff Forum is to update staff members from all departments of what’s going on in our areas, and we’ll continue to do so by adding an element of surprise at each meeting.
Trivia Question- Which one of the new staff forum officers missed the last meeting? Correct answers will be put in a drawing for two prizes donated from the marketing department.
We will also capture “Kodak moments” from each meeting.

Sue also asks that staff not use the document handler for small pieces of paper. For instance, receipts will get jammed and it is then hard to fix.
Sue suggested that if you have a copier in your office, make sure that there is someone in charge of it to make sure that the paper guides are set properly at all times.
