I. Welcome and Introductions: Ruth Hussey welcomed everyone
to the committee meeting and asked everyone to introduce
themselves.
II. Overview of Committee: Hussey gave an overview of
the committee’s charge and scope. She stated that
the purpose of the professional development committee was
to make recommendations for professional development in
regard to gaps in audiences and/or content; however, the
committee was not charged with implementation. Implementation
was the Executive Office’s role as directed by the
Board of Directors.
II. Discussion of what has been accomplished toward the
present Professional Development Committee’s plan
and recommendations – Hussey and Nutt gave an overview
of the material members had received concerning the events,
publications, and other activities that have been accomplished
since 2003 toward the professional development plan and
recommendations.
III. Discussion of 2005-2007 Plan and Recommendations – Champarde
led the discussion on the perceived gaps needed to be addressed
in the 2005-2007 plan or recommendations on professional
development. The following items were discussed:
- Material in variety of languages – specifically
it was raised that the Parents Guide needed to be in
Spanish too with the number of parents who were Spanish-speaking
only – new initiative – ultimate
responsibility will be Publications Advisory Board
- Intentional Mentoring of new advisors – expanded
initiative utilizing new Interest Group for New Advising
Professionals and Emerging Leader program being developed
by Diversity Committee
- Perceived Gaps for New Advisors – expanded
initiative utilizing the work of the Interest Group
to assist in this area
- Perceived Gaps for Seasoned Advisors – was suggested
we survey those seasoned advisors to determine what areas
they see as needed for them – Linda, Chrissy, and
Molly agreed to work on a survey of these members.
- Technology – Wes Habley brought the issue of
technology from the SI Advisory Board continued
initiative – utilize content board from Commission
- Need for updating the NACADA Faculty Training Video continued
initiative – utilize content review board
- Senior Administrators – It was suggested that
NACADA host a Senior Administrators’ Summit on
Advising – Wes Habley suggested using the past
Pace Setter Award Winners as a focus group to assist
in developing this summit. In addition, it was suggested
to develop a packaged “session” that would
be presented by NACADA members at association conferences
that Senior Administrators attend – continued
initiative with recommendations from committee for base
discussions and then review boards for activities
Champarde and Nutt will do a summary of these ideas and
send to the committee for future discussions.
