<strong>Section</strong> 3: Issues/Items for consideration by the Division.<br />
1. Review the effectiveness of the CIG Fair at the national conference.<br />
2. Development of more specific approval criterion and guidelines for Interest Groups <strong>to</strong> become Commissions.<br />
3. Organizational restructuring for enhanced Commission and Interest Group involvement at the local and regional level.<br />
4. Organizational restructuring of the CIGD Division promoting less specialization of interests, but more merger of <strong>relate</strong>d interests forming fewer<br />
Commissions and Interests Groups that will have larger responsibilities.<br />
<strong>Section</strong> 4: Describe how you have incorporated diversity and inclusiveness of membership in<strong>to</strong> the planning of<br />
<strong>your</strong> unit’s goals and <strong>activities</strong>. What criteria were used <strong>to</strong> accomplish this (such <strong>as</strong> institutional type, ethnicity, new<br />
professionals, experienced professionals, role—faculty, administra<strong>to</strong>r, advisor; region, etc.)<br />
Development of diverse representation on working committees (steering committee, proposal reading and evaluation committee, and resource committee).<br />
Volunteers for Commission involvement were sought out at the national conferences in Chicago and San An<strong>to</strong>nio. A number of those volunteers were<br />
appointed <strong>to</strong> the Steering Committee, the Proposal Reader and Evaluation Committee and the Resources Committee according <strong>to</strong> their expressed interests of<br />
involvement. An effort w<strong>as</strong> made in the overall representation on the committees <strong>to</strong> include a variety of <strong>NACADA</strong> regions, large, mid and small<br />
institutions, two year institutions, advising administra<strong>to</strong>rs, professional advisers, faculty advisers, and different are<strong>as</strong> of engineering and science.<br />
The Commission mission statement reflects inclusiveness of membership at the Commission level.<br />
<strong>Section</strong> 5: Summary of Unit Communications and Meetings<br />
• Name/type of Group Meeting: Engineering and Science Advising Commission<br />
• Date and Location: San An<strong>to</strong>nio, Tex<strong>as</strong>, Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 2, 2009<br />
• Number of Members Attending/participating: 35<br />
• Summary of Meeting: The meeting w<strong>as</strong> facilitated by Dan King, the 2008-2010 Chair for the Engineering and Science Advising Commission.<br />
Various recognitions were done <strong>to</strong> include awarding the Service <strong>to</strong> the Commission Award, the first since 2004, <strong>to</strong> Peg Steele of Ohio State<br />
University. Also recognized were Commission sponsored presenters and other presenters of Engineering and Science advising <strong>to</strong>pics in San<br />
An<strong>to</strong>nio, and Commission <strong>NACADA</strong> award winners. The current membership of around 320 w<strong>as</strong> mentioned <strong>as</strong> a little down from l<strong>as</strong>t year but<br />
consistent with the Commission membership numbers over several years. The Commission mission statement w<strong>as</strong> reviewed and a call for<br />
nominations for additional candidates for the 2010-2012 Chair w<strong>as</strong> made with those nominations due by Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 30. Also an encouragement for<br />
members <strong>to</strong> volunteer <strong>to</strong> become involved in Commission <strong>activities</strong> and <strong>to</strong> submit presentation proposals and write Engineering and Science<br />
advising <strong>relate</strong>d articles for <strong>NACADA</strong> publications w<strong>as</strong> promoted. A sign up sheet w<strong>as</strong> p<strong>as</strong>sed around and a number of people indicated <strong>they</strong> were<br />
interested in volunteering for Commission <strong>activities</strong>. At this point, the second half of the meeting w<strong>as</strong> devoted <strong>to</strong> promoting discussion for focus<br />
issues for the Commission’s concentration by breaking down in<strong>to</strong> smaller groups. Each group w<strong>as</strong> <strong>as</strong>ked <strong>to</strong> come up with 3 <strong>to</strong> 5 are<strong>as</strong> of focus <strong>to</strong><br />
write down for the steering committee <strong>to</strong> review in the coming year. The groups were then <strong>as</strong>ked <strong>to</strong> report back on their <strong>to</strong>p two are<strong>as</strong>.
• Name/type of Group Meeting: Future Meetings for 2009/2010<br />
• Date and Location: Teleconference Meetings<br />
• Number of Members Attending/participating: 5 <strong>to</strong> 10<br />
• Budget Request: Proposing that a budget for possible teleconferences be approved for up <strong>to</strong> 3 <strong>to</strong> 4 teleconferences per year <strong>to</strong> conduct Commission<br />
business, especially amongst the Commission Committees. Assuming that a teleconference for one hour costs approximately $50 per hour then the<br />
budget request is for approximately $150 -$200. It is anticipated that participation in these teleconferences could be up <strong>to</strong> around 5 <strong>to</strong> 10 committee<br />
members for about one hour each <strong>to</strong> discuss Commission business and make Commission decisions with consensus. One Commission meeting for<br />
the Steering Committee <strong>to</strong>ok place l<strong>as</strong>t year and the feedback from the Steering Committee w<strong>as</strong> that the meeting w<strong>as</strong> a successful forum for<br />
communication and we should continue <strong>to</strong> hold teleconferences for Commission and Committee <strong>relate</strong>d business in the future.
