Staff Development Coordinating Committee

The major activity of the committee during February was the completion and activation of the Acorn Note portion of the staff awards program. Laura presented the program to the LMC. Notes were printed, publicity flyers were sent, and a brown bag describing the program was planned for March 2. The time period for Acorn Note presentation is retroactive to January 1, 1999.

Mary Beth reported on her activities with the Information Alliance Spring program to be held May 7 at Dale Hollow Resort in Bow, Kentucky. She had the major role in planning the program.

The committee was asked to think about the way we should handle coordination of the calendar for staff development activities. Debra agreed to serve as calendar keeper.

Suellen reported that LTT is working on training for the migration to Sirsi Workflows. Tentative implementation of 98.4 is during spring break. The training coordinators met to discuss Word 98 and html classes for this semester.

Possibilities for program subjects and presenters in the near future are Elaine for Customer Service; James Taylor for "Dealing with Difficult People," and Nancy Ransom for stress management.
