Professional Development Committee

II. Health & Wellness Week Wrap Up. a. Walk/Run Event. Angie reported that PD made a little over $2000 on the walk/run event which is slightly under what we made last year; however, we were fortunate to have turned a profit considering all the roadblocks we came up against. Board member Kathy Brugger donated $100 and Gary George donated $50 to the walk/run event. Cid Pinedo also supported the event with an $80 donation. Angie advised that Healthy Roads had sent two gift baskets for the two workshops that were cancelled and rather than have us send them back, they donated the baskets as giveaways. Angie suggested that Professional Development have a question contest for each gift basket. She suggested taking the questions from the monthly Health & Wellness newsletters we receive from Healthy Roads. The committee approved the suggestion to have a question contest to give away the gift baskets. The committee was asked how they would like to disburse the funds made from the walk/run event and the committee approved disbursing the funds as follows: Classified Learning Network would receive $1000, Faculty Success Center would receive $500, and Student Activities, Emergency Book Grant would receive $500. The committee discussed setting a date for next year’s event and after much discussion approved the week of April 8-12, 2013 for Health & Wellness week and hosting the walk/run event as the finale on April 13, 2012 to complete the week as opposed to kicking off Health & Wellness week with the walk/run event. b. Workshops. Angie reported that all the Health & Wellness workshops were a huge success. We did, however, have to cancel two workshops but they were workshops that were offered twice in a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. c. Cooking/Question Contest. The winners for the cooking contest were: 1 place – Monica Han, 2 nd place – Cindy Walker, and 3 rd place – Brenda Dokken. On the question contest we had several participants that answered all six questions correctly, so we had Dr. Shannon pull the winning name and that was Karen Matejcek.
