Announcements & Introductions
- The following members were introduced to the committee as new members:
- Justine Briggs – Professional Staff Representative
- Meghan Irving – Undergraduate Student Representative
- Peggy Lane – Faculty Representative, EHHS
- Janet Roy – Professional Staff Representative
- Jamie Spiller – College Senate President-Elect, ex-officio member
- Mark Stacy – Professional Staff Representative
- Dr. Copelton announced that the JPBC is holding special nominations for Co-Chair Elect.
This is due to the fact that the individual that was originally appointed to serve in that role
has taken a position on the School of Business’s Leadership Team and is therefore not
eligible to serve as Co-Chair Elect or Co-Chair. The role is reserved for faculty members,
including librarians, who are below or equivalent to the department chair level. This role is
a four year commitment as there is one year serving as Co-Chair elect and then a three year
term serving as the Co-Chair. There is a Daily Eagle article announcing this and there is a
MachForm available to complete the nominations. The committee is accepting
nominations and self-nominations through September 16.

Review Call Letter & Presentation Template for Fall 2020 Goal Group Presentations and
Budget Prioritization Requests
Members reviewed the PowerPoint and Executive Summary templates. The following discussion
points occurred:
- Dr. Copelton expressed her appreciation to Sara Kelly, Frances Dearing and Richard
Dirmyer for their work on developing the templates. - Clarification was requested regarding if the executive summary is replacing the
spreadsheet that was utilized in the past by the Goal Groups or will it assist the Goal
Groups in updating the spreadsheet as both require the same information. It was stated that
the executive summary was designed in a way so that the information could be pulled from
the spreadsheet. Also, this is similar to presentations that have been done in the past. This
is just a more streamlined version to match the reporting purposes of the strategic plan. In
addition, it will assist with the Middle States review. - It was stated that due to the College’s financial situation, it is not anticipated that many
budget prioritization requests will be included in the presentations. If budget prioritization
requests are included, they need to be supported by data and assessment and need to
evidence how the requests link to the strategic plan. - Members did not request any additions or changes to the templates.
