research laboratory in the United States, and it was established in
1895. Significant research
is conducted by both students and professional biologists on the ecology
of Lake Erie and the Great Lakes region.
At

Point facilities at Put-in-Bay.

STAFF
REWARDS TASK FORCE REPORT
Regina
Vann gave the report and distributed a written draft. She reiterated
that Dr. Moser’s deadline for a report was September 1, and although
the TF has been working diligently, it is unlikely the deadline will be
met. Regina plans to
contact Dr. Moser to request an extension on the time line. The TF has
utilized conference calls and in-person meetings over the past several
months, and a retreat was held August 8 with Marilyn Trefz facilitating
the discussion.
Regina
asked that SAC members review the draft report and reply to her by
August 25 with comments/input. She will send the report to members who were not in
attendance at today’s meeting to seek their input. The TF anticipates
incorporating data from the survey results with the final report to Dr.
Moser.
SURVEY
TASK FORCE REPORT
Mark
Erbaugh distributed various documents containing the preliminary survey
results. He indicated a grad
student did the final coding, and Dr. Joe Gliem ran the statistical and
quantitative analysis, however, there is more yet to be done.
Mark discussed the various kinds of data that can be gleaned or
sorted from the survey. Examples
are: location, area of appointment, years of service, type of
appointment, etc. The task
force requests input on the
way to “package” the summary information for dissemination to the
appropriate other task forces, and how to present a comprehensive report
to Dr. Moser. Mark indicated the next steps for the TF will be to write the
results and respond to requests for data extraction and interpretation
from the various SAC task forces. He
indicated the final survey results will not be ready for presentation at
the annual meeting in September.
After
discussion, Deb made a motion to maintain confidentiality with the survey
results and to have SAC maintain ownership of the survey data to support
task force initiatives. Kathy Mohler seconded this motion; motion carried.
ANNUAL
MEETING
Deb
reviewed details for the September 14 annual meting.
It will be held at the Faculty Club on the Columbus campus.
A regular meeting will be held in the morning, and then lunch with
a brief program and recognition to follow.
Invitations will be sent under Dr. Moser’s signature to
department chairs, Extension district directors, and administrative
cabinet. RSVPs will be sent
to Cathy Zirkle. Parking
passes will be available that day, and it was also suggested members could
car pool. Additional details
will be emailed closer to time.
