CCEB Meeting of the Old and New Board: This auspicious meeting will take place on the 9th of July.

Preparation for the Meeting of the Old and New Board: All members are charged with reviewing their duties.

Election Results and Appointments: The electronic balloting produced no problems of consequence. The Secretary is charged with providing Sandy Gilliland with the Grievance Committee vote counts.

List of Appointments:

· Classified Conference Personnel Committee (CCPC): Angie Rathmel has agreed to serve as Chairperson. Bob Marvin and Janet Revenew have volunteered to serve on the committee, as well.
o 1-4 other people are needed to serve on CCPC.
· Classified Employee of the Year Award (CEYA): Angie, by dint of her future service with CCPC, will also serve on CEYA. She will be accompanied by Toni Taylor and Helen Dee.

Follow-up on General Meeting of 5/21/03: Thanks has been extended and received for set-up, clean-up and food. Receipts have been turned in and thank-you notes have been sent to the guests.

Libraries Value Statement: CCEB has no clear response to the value statement.

KU Info: Now under the umbrella of the Libraries.

Group II News: Tyca Griggs has resigned. Marilyn Landon and Kathy Clodfelter have retired.

SDC Workshop Expansion Proposal: There has been no follow-up from either side on the question of adding CPR courses or other less obviously library-related coursework to the catalog of SDC courses offered. The concept will be made a charge of CCPC.

Tuition Assistance for Internship Hours: Sue Hewitt reported that KU Classified Senate is checking into what other institutions do about providing tuition assistance for internship hours.

Mentoring Workshop: Unfortunately, the mentoring program will focus entirely on acclimatizing new faculty to the job for the foreseeable future. Eventually, the program may focus on unclassified and classified staff. CCEB will continue to keep reminding library administration of our interest, especially for Classified staff interested in and/or attending library school.
