AGENDA

I. Call to Order

II. Call for Late Additions to the Agenda

III. Business of the Day — Mary Opperman attending

• 1) The childcare facility and family services - EA invited Amy Richter and Lynette to speak at our last meeting. About 60 people attended the open meeting to ask questions and give feedback. If Mary has heard any new developments about the center, we are asking her to share them.
• 2) Letters for EA Volunteers’ Supervisors - The EA was wondering if there is a letter from Mary O. already in existence that can be sent to the supervisors of volunteers serving on the EA. The letter would provide supervisors with the knowledge that the EA plays an important role at the University and would encourage supervisors to be as flexible as possible with requests from EA members to attend EA meetings and functions.
• 3) Release time policy document that Chet et. al. drafted - Can discussion of document be reactivated? What role can EA play in this reactivation?
