Meeting Minutes: October 26th, 2022

Attended: Gabe Peña, Sonja Wall, Amy Schuster

LAAN Meeting Agenda

  • Professional Development Review
    • Discussed the recent seminar regarding technology and advising and looked at potential areas to further develop and other ideas for future PD
  • Review of Committee Responsibilities
    • Checked in with Amy and Sonja about their responsibilities. Both feel comfortable
      • Amy implemented new welcome email to go out to new LAAN members to welcome them to organization as well as share helpful resources from LAAN page
  • Archiving Meeting Minutes
    • We discussed multiple options for how and where we could archive minutes. Two best options are laid out below, will consult Executive Committee for Feedback
      • Store them on LAAN Site
        • This would at minimum require the creation of a new page and either a new accordion or directly moving the information from existing accordions to new page to store archived meeting minutes. 
        • This option leaves direct access to all minutes (current and archived)
      • Store them on Bb Site
        • This would require creation of an Archived Meeting Minutes page in each committee folder in Bb and a document where we will take information from existing accordion and store in new document. 
        • There wouldnt need to be a new accordion on LAAN site, we would just delete after moving (at beginning or end of an academic year)
        • This option would require someone to contact LAAN in order to access archived meeting minutes
    • Plans for Technology Committee
      • We discussed future of Tech committee and desire to be included in university conversations about technology. We will look at having conversations with Dr. Benet about ways to advocate to having one of our members on these teams
    • Questions for LAAN Chair Meeting
      • Discussed topics we wanted to discuss at upcoming LAAN Chair Meeting
        • Making sure other committee chairs are comfortable with how to add EOY reports to site and minutes
