>> CHANCELLOR THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WELCOME THIS MORNING,
[00:00:02]
TRUSTEE MAYER, PLEASED TO MEET YOU, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH[1. Roll Call - Announcement of a Quorum]
YOU THE THE ENROLLMENT UPDATE AND THEN DISCUSSING THE FALL ENROLLMENT SO LET'S BEGIN.THIS IS BROKEN DOWN BETWEEN 10 WEEKS, FIRST EIGHT WEEKS, SECOND EIGHT WEEKS AND MAY TERM.
OVERALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR SUMMER WE HAD A 1.2 INCREASE IN ENROLLMENT IN COMPARISON TO LAST SUMMER OF 2021.
WE USED LAST SUMMER AS A BASELINE IN FAIRNESS THAT PRE-PANDEMIC NUMBERS [INAUDIBLE] TO SEE HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE US TO RETURN TO PRECOVID NUMBERS, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS POSED IN THE LAST ENROLLMENT UP DATA THAT I PROVIDED TO THIS GROUP.
SO THAT BEING SAID, WE'RE PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE WE HAVE DONE WELL.
THE ASTERISKS EL THERE ARE INCLUDED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT
[2. Certification of Notice Posted for the Meeting]
DUE TO CHANGES IN CODING AND US BEING ABLE TO ADJUST OUR DATA AND REPORT IT IN A WAY THAT REFLECTS THE NUMBERS ACCURATELY, THE NUMBERS FOR 2019 AND 2020 ARE INCLUDED IN THAT FIRST EIGHT WEEKS.THAT 20,000 NUMBER AS WELL AS THAT 32,000 NUMBER.
WE'RE WORKING TO BRING THE NONCREDIT ENROLLMENT
[4.1. 2022 Summer Enrollment Update]
DATA.IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO DENOTE TO THE GROUP THAT THE TOTAL AT THE BOTTOM, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT IN THESE NUMBERS, IF YOU'RE ATTEMPTING TO UPDATE THEY MAY NOT ADD UP BECAUSE STUDENTS MAY BE IN MULTIPLE TERMS AT ONE TIME.
THIS IS AN UNDUPLICATED TOTAL.
WE HAD OVER 68,000 STUDENTS WHO ENROLLED.
I WILL TALK INCREASE MEANS AND HOW WE GOT TO THAT
[00:05:05]
NUMBER BUT I SHARED WITH YOU ALL THE INCREASE IS BY PERCENTAGE AND REMITS THE TOTAL OF ABOUT 687 STUDENTS.PLEASE BE MINDFUL THESE NUMBERS ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF NEW STUDENTS THAT NEED TO BE RETAINED OR NEW STUDENTS THAT NEED TO BE RECRUITED IN ORDER FOR US TO REACH THAT GOAL.
THIS NUMBER IS ABOVE WHAT WE HAVE --
THESE ARE NEW HEAD COUNTS WE WOULD HAVE TO ACHIEVE TO REACH THAT NEW GOAL.
>> O MANY, IF YOU LOOK AT 687, HOW DO WE KNOW THEY STAY ENROLLED?
I CAN CERTAINLY FOLLOW UP WITH YOU BECAUSE WE LOOK AT DROP NUMBERS AND THERE ARE ACTIVE WORK REENROLLMENT.
>> T HAVE IS THE ONE YOU ALREADY HAVE SO THE BEST STUDENT YOU HAVE IS THE ONE YOU ALREADY HAVE.
>> YEAH, YOU'RE ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTION AND IN THIS NEW STRUCTURE, THIS NEW WAY OF DOING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND A RETENTION PLAN AS WELL FOR THE REASON YOU HAVE DESCRIBED.
HISTORICALLY WE COULD LOOK AT ENROLLMENT BUT WE'RE IN A LARGE MARKET BUT WHAT A DISSERVICE IT DOES TO THESE STUDENTS WE LOSE SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT RETENTION PLAN AS WELL.
>> W UPDATES, CAN WE INCLUDE DALLAS PROMISE STUDENTS, NAMELY HOW MANY APPLIED AND HOW MANY ENROLLED? IF THERE'S A HUGE DISPARITY, WHAT ARE WE DOING TO CAPTURE THOSE WHO DID NOT ENROLL? ONLY 5,000 SOME-ODD FINISHED AND ENROLLED.
>> AN IMPORTANT PART OF THAT IS US IDENTIFYING WITH THESE STUDENTS WENT.
A NUMBER OF THESE STUDENTS WILL GO TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS.
AS LONG AS THEY'RE ENROLLED IN COLLEGE SOMEWHERE, THAT'S A WIN.
IT'S THOSE WHO DON'T SHOW UP ANYWHERE, THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON.
>> S WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR ALL THE TRUSTEES, I KNOW FOR ME AND THE NEW ONES, I GOT A CALL THIS LAST WEEK, MY STUDENT WAS ENROLLED, I GOT AN INVOICE FOR MY TUITION, WHO DO I TALK TO? WHO DO I CALL? IS THERE A PLACE WE CAN BE GIVEN A NUMBER OR A PERSON SO WE HAVE A SINGLE FOCAL POINT FOR ISSUES THAT RELATE TO ANYTHING FOR THE STUDENTS? SEND IT TO THAT?
>> WE JUST NEED TO HAVE AN IMMEDIATE ANSWER.
>> [INDISCERNIBLE] HELPS ME NAVIGATE THAT.
>> PERLA CAN STILL AT LEAST STAY ON THE TRACK.
[00:10:01]
>> W ENROLLMENTS, HOW DO WE COMPARE TO THE OTHER INSTITUTIONS?
WE KNOW SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T COME BACK AND SO FORTH AFTER WE SHUT DOWN AND I WAS CURIOUS HOW THE OTHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS ARE FARING.
BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED DALLAS COUNTY.
COMPARING TO TARRANT AND COLLIN COLLEGE.
TARRANT COUN DECLINED IN ENROLLMENT.
OURS, WE LOOK OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF TIME AND MORE IN THE 6% KIND OF RANGE.
THE STATEWIDE COMMUNITY COLLEGE DECLINE WAS DOUBLE DIGITS, ABOUT 11% OR SO.
SO WHEN WE COMPARE TO OTHER LIKE INSTITUTIONS GOING IT THERE SAME THING, WE ACTUALLY FARED BETTER THAN THOSE.
>> SO AS PART AS SOME OF THE QUESTIONS TO POST, WHEN I COME BACK AND VISIT YOU IN THE FALL, THERE WILL BE MORE COMPREHENSIVE UPDATES, COMPARATIVE NUMBERS FOR OTHER INSTITUTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS ON HOW WE HANDLE DROPS BUT ALONG THOSE SAME LINES AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FACTORS, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE CAME BACK TO BUILDING AWARENESS TO WHY THE 3%.
FIVE POSSIBLE REASONS AS TO WHY WE ALL ARE LOOKING AT AN ATTAINABLE GOAL, A 3% GOAL.
THIS IS A QUESTION POSED EARLIER THIS WEEK AND I'M COMING BACK TO IT BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S AN UNDERSTANDING AS TO HOW WE WORK.
THE FIRST THAT I THINK IS CRITICAL THAT CHANCELLOR LONON ADDRESSED, IT REQUIRES US TO BUILD AWARENESS WITHIN OUR TEAM MEMBERS.
OUR TEAM MEMBERS HAVE NOT THOROUGHLY UNDERSTOOD HOW WE GO ABOUT MAKING DATA DRIVEN DECISIONS SO IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT ALL OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS UNDERSTAND HOW TO GO ABOUT THAT ACCORDINGLY.
THIS IS THE REASON FOR GOING TOWARDS A REALISTIC AND ATTAINABLE GOAL.
THE OTHER PIECE TOO IS THAT IT'S PART OF BEST PRACTICES WITH ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE INVOLVED WITH ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT, SOME OF OUR ASSOCIATIONS THAT WORK TOWARDS ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT, THAT FOCUS ON ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT.
THE OTHER THING WE DISCUSSED, TRUSTEE COMPTON, YOU BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT.
HISTORICAL DATA SHOWS SINGLE DIGIT NUMBERS IN INCREASES AND DECREASES TEND TO BE LARGER SO WE'RE LOOKING AT SINGLE DIGITS AND REALISTIC AND ATTAINABLE GOALS.
WE DON'T WANT TO TRY TO OVER EXTEND OURSELVES BUT WE WILL ASPIRE TO DO BETTER.
IF WE DO BETTER, FANTASTIC BUT IT GIVES THE TEAM AN ABILITY TO AIM AT SOMETHING THAT'S REASONABLE AND NOT WEIGH HEAVY ON TRYING TO ACHIEVE A GOAL THAT ONE MAY NOT FEEL WE COULD GET THERE AT THIS TIME GIVEN THE CHALLENGES THAT ARE PRESENTED NATIONWIDE.
INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY IS AN IMPORTANT POINT TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE ANTICIPATED COURSES AND THE SPACE NEEDS.
MARKET SHARE IS VALUABLE INFORMATION AS A GROUP THAT WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF.
WE ARE, IN FACT, IN A COME PETTIVE MARKET AS A TWO YOU'RE INSTITUTION.
WHAT WE HAVE DONE COMING TOGETHER PUTS US IN A GREAT POSITION TO BE ABLE TO DO BETTER AND WE SEE THAT WE ARE DOING A THOSE THINGS AS YOU WILL SEE IN JUST A LITTLE BIT WITH THE PROGRESS THAT WE MADE IN TRYING TO ACHIEVE THAT 3%.
AND LASTLY BUT CERT CONSIDERATION OF HISTORICAL FACTORS.
THE REALITY IS THAT WE STILL HAVE OUR COMMUNITY SO THAT GOES BACK TO A REALISTIC GOAL THAT'S SET AT 3% CERTAINLY ASPIRING TO DO MORE.
>> C EXTERNAL FACTORS, ARE YOU ASKING THE STUDENTS? IS THAT HOW YOU'RE ASSESSING EXTERNAL FACTORS?
IF YOU WILL RECALL, WE DID THAT THIS PRIOR YEAR AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT INQUIRING WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE AND WHAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH.
[00:15:01]
WE HAD A GREAT MEETING WITH OUR TEAMS AND SUCCESS COACHES ARE FOCUSING ON ADULT STUDENTS AND REACHING OUT TO THEM SO THAT MEETING WAS VERY TELLING AS TO THE WORK THEY'RE DOING.I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THE STUDENTS THEY REACHED OUT TO, ABOUT 300 OF THESE STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO BE CONNECTED WITH AND MOST OF THOSE STUDENTS ARE REENROLLING AS A RESULT OF THOSE PERSONAL CAMPAIGN SO IT GIVES US A SENSE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING AND HOW WE CAN BEST ADDRESS THOSE STUDENTS.
IN TERMS OF THE SUCCESS COACHES, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT WOULD BE A SOURCE OF LETTING YOU KNOW WHAT SOME OF THESE EXTERNAL FACTORS ARE, DO THEY REPORT WHAT THE STUDENTS ARE ENCOUNTERING?
ONE OF THE SPECIFIC THINGS WE SHARED WAS THAT THEY ARE MAKING SURE TO BE VERY MINDFUL OF WHAT ARE THE ISSUES OUR STUDENTS ARE GOING THROUGH THAT IS CAUSING THEM TO NOT BE ENROLLED SO WE'RE TAKING A LOOK AT THESE STUDENTS NOT REENROLLING AND MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING.
THE OTHER TEAM AND I WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THIS, BUT OUR [INAUDIBLE] TEAM.
>> S BOT OR A VIDEO GIVING THE STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS ON HOW TO ENROLL? BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE AN EASY ONLINE ENROLLMENT PROCESS, SPEAKING FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND SPEAKING FROM FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT IN THAT SURVEY WE DID WITH PROMISE STUDENTS.
>> YES, MA'AM, WE DO HAVE A CHAT BOT THAT GIVES SPECIFIC STEP-BY-STEP INFORMATION TO A STUDENT DEPENDING ON THE QUESTION THAT'S POSED.
IT MAY NOT BE A COMPLETE STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS BUT AS IT RELATES TO VIDEO AND INFORMATION AND SUPPORTING THEM FULLY, THE ANSWER IS NO, WE HAVE NOT CREATED A [INAUDIBLE] AND THAT LEAVES INTO OUR EVENING TEAM AS WELL.
>> T SESSION FOR THESE STUDENTS WHO LOG IN BUT THOSE STUDENTS WHO ARE ON THEIR OWN TRYING TO ENROLL, WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR THEM?
>> W CONVERSATION IS STUDENTS WHO TRY TO REGISTER ON THEIR OWN, YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S NOT THE EASIEST SO WE'RE TRYING TO CHANNEL THOSE STUDENTS THROUGH THE LIVE SESSIONS WHETHER IN THE EVENING OR DURING THE DAY SO WE CAN ASSIST THEM BECAUSE OUR PROCESS IS A LITTLE BIT CUMBERSOME AND IT'S NOT EASY TO FOLLOW SO WHEN TALKING ABOUT PROMISE STUDENTS, WE HAVE TEAMS DEDICATED TO PROMISE STUDENTS SO ANY PROMISE STUDENT IS CHANNELED THROUGH THAT GROUP AND THEY HOLD THEIR HAND ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
FOR THE OTHER STUDENTS, WE ENCOURAGE THEM THROUGH THE CHAT, THROUGH, THROUGH THE WEBSITE, TO GO THROUGH THE VIRTUAL SITES IF THEY NEED ASSISTANCE, TO OUR SATURDAY REGISTRATION, THERE ARE OTHER POSSIBILITIES BUT TO YOUR POINT, HAVING A VIDEO WE ARE NOT THERE.
>> TRUSTEE FLORES, YOU BRING UP AN EXCELLENT POINT AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S BAN VALUABLE IS THE COLLABORATION WE HAVE HAD WITH MARKETING.
IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLY STRONG AND A VIDEO IS IMPERATIVE AND WE CAN DO THAT AND WORK WITH THE TEAMS TO GET THE VIDEO DONE AND USE OUR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT VIDEO AND I THINK THAT WOULD WORK OUT BEAUTIFULLY.
LY COMMENT TO WORKING WITH OUR MARKETING TEAM TO GET THAT VIDEO DONE AND KEEP THIS BOARD POSTED AS TO THIS PROCESS BECAUSE I THINK IT WOULD BE A EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS AND VERY HELPFUL AS A PART OF ANOTHER WAY TO GET STUDENTS TO BE SERVED.
>> ONE FINAL, THE ACRONYM SO STUDENTS UNDERSTAND WHERE TO LOOK ACCORDING TO THE ACRONYM.
THIS IS ALL ABOUT CREDIT, CORRECT?
>> I EARLIER THAT WE TALK ABOUT THE NON-CREDIT BUT PROBABLY TEEING UP A CONVERSATION FOR NEXT TIME ABOUT THE WHOLE SUCCESS COACH EMPHASIS AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CREDIT PATHWAY AND A CAREER PATHWAY.
[00:20:01]
TERMS OF THE DIFFERENCES WITH THE SUCCESS COACHES?>> YES, WE HAVE A GROUP OF SUCCESS COACHES THAT ARE DEDICATED TO CE.
>> I KNOW IT'S A DIFFERENT POPULATION.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S EVER AN APPROPRIATE TIME TO BRING UP THINGS, BUT YOU SAY FACTORS INFLUENCING ENROLLMENT GOAL SETTING.
I THINK WHAT YOU LISTED BELOW THAT ARE FOUR MORE FAR REACHING THAN JUST ENROLLMENT GOAL SETTING AND AS WE START TO ENGAGE WITH OUR GROUP ON STRATEGIC PLANNING, THESE ITEMS THAT YOU LIST HERE ARE THE CRUX OF THE WHOLE FUTURE OF THE COLLEGE.
THEY'RE NOT JUST ABOUT GOAL SETTING AND ENROLLMENT, THEY'RE ABOUT EVERYTHING.
YOU TALK ABOUT REALISTIC AND ATTAINABLE GOALS.
INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY, MARKET SHARE, CONSIDERATION, EXTERNAL FACTORS.
THAT'S WHY WE NEED A STRATEGIC PLAN.
WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT FACILITIES IF WE DON'T PUT SOME TYPE OF VISION ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DELIVER AND THE MORE I SPEND TIME AND THE MORE I UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING, I LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY BUT I USE THE TERM VERY LOOSELY AND I DON'T MEAN IT TO BE ANYTHING ALARMING, BUT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BLOW UP THE WAY WE EDUCATE PEOPLE IN THE NEXT FIVE TO TEN YEARS.
IF WE CONTINUE TO EDUCATE THEM THE PATHWAYS WE HAVE TAKEN FOR THE PAST 50 YEARS, WE'RE GOING TO MISS -- WE'RE GOING TO BE SHOOTING FOR MARS AND HIT SOME OTHER PLANET.
BY INCLUDING THOSE THINGS OUT THERE AS PART OF OUR MARKETING OR CONSIDERATION, WHATEVER, THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO ATTRACT ENROLLMENT.
IF WE CAN DO THAT, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT, THAT'S WHY WE'RE HIRING A COMPANY TO HELP US FIND THOSE EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT WE DON'T RUN INTO EVERY DAY, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO HIT US ON FRIDAY AND WE WERE DOING SOMETHING ON WEDNESDAY, SO I REALLY SEE THAT THIS GROUP, Y'ALL'S CORE GROUP ARE GOING TO BE THE REAL CENTER, MR. CHAIRMAN, WHERE ARE WE REALLY STARTING WITH THE PAGE GROUP? IT'S NOT ABOUT FACILITIES UNTIL WE HAVE THIS FIGURED OUT, UNTIL WE REALLY KNOW WHAT OUR CURRICULUM IS, YOU KNOW?
>> WELL, I KNOW HE'S GOT A COMMENT, BUT WE HAVE A STRATEGIC PLAN, OKAY? AND IT PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE UPDATED.
WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY CONTEMPLATED AS A BOARD OUR EDUCATION PLAN AND FACILITIES PLAN AND THE FACT THAT THEY NEED TO RELATE WITH EACH OTHER AND CONNECT TO EACH OTHER.
DO WE NEED TO GO BACK AND REVISIT THAT? HECK YEAH.
I'M LOOKING AT A STRATEGIC PLAN RIGHT NOW AND FIGURE OUT WHERE ENROLLMENT FITS INTO IT.
WE GOT STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AROUND CAREER-CONNECTED LEARNING, EFFECTIVE DISPARITY AND SO FORTH BUT WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING ON ENROLLMENT, MAYBE WE NEED TO REVISIT AND DEFINE MORE PRECISELY THE STRATEGIC PRIORITY THAT RELATED TO THAT AND IMPACTED BY FACILITIES, CURRICULUM AND CAPACITY BUT IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T HAVE THESE THINGS, AND AT SOME POINT WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON CAREER PROCESSES.
I SEE ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT HAS A PROCESS THAT SOME ACCOUNTABLE FOR.
THERE'S ALL THIS OTHER STUFF OUT THERE, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, SOMEBODY IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR ENROLLMENT AND WE NEED TO FOCUS ON AND I UNDERSTAND THAT PROCESS AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE TODAY.
>> WHAT I WAS GOING TO ADD IS THAT AS I SAID EARLIER, FOR THE FIRST TIME WE'RE DOING A COMPREHENSIVE ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN.
SO IT IS NOT JUST STUDENT SUCCESS FOLKS IN ISOLATION.
IT'S A CROSS FUNCTIONAL TEAM THAT INCLUDES THESE ELEMENTS AND THE DIFFERENT OPERATIONAL AREAS, SO WE CAN CONSIDER EACH ONE OF THESE AND THE OTHER THINGS WE NEED TO CONSIDER ALONG THE WAY WHERE THE PAGE GROUP CAN BE HELPFUL IS TAKING THAT LOOK AT AND REVIEW WHAT WE HAVE DONE THUS FAR BUT I JUST WANT TO REMIND FOLKS THAT THE WAY WE DID ENROLLMENT BEFORE WAS TIMES SEVEN, SOMETIMES TIMES EIGHT WHEN WE BROUGHT IN DIFFERENT MARKETING AT THE DIFFERENT COLLEGES, DISTRICT MARKETING AWARENESS AND IT WAS FOCUSED ON THE NARROW.
WE HAVE BLOW STRUCTURE AND I APPRECIATE THAT STRUCTURE,
[00:25:02]
QUITE HONESTLY, TO ALIGN WITH THE ACADEMIC SCHOOLS WHERE WE GOT THOSE ALIGNED LIKE PROGRAMS NO LONGER COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER BUT WORKING TOGETHER SO WHEN IT COMES TO ENROLLMENT, NO MORE I'M TRYING TO GET THEM OVER TO THIS CAMPUS VERSUS THAT CAMPUS, IT'S TRYING TO GET THEM INTO A PROGRAM THAT MAKES SENSE FOR THIS BUT THIS CROSS FUNCTIONAL ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM IS STILL RELATIVELY NEW IN DEVELOPMENT.I THINK IT'S GOING TO GET US TO WHERE WE WANT TO GET TO IN A STRATEGIC WAY THAT WE HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DO BEFORE.
>> ANYTHING ELSE? PLEASE PROCEED.
I'M EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU-ALL AS I SHARED EARLIER WITH CHAIR BRAVO AND TRUSTEE RITTER AS IT RELATES TO THE PROGRESSION BARBIE BEFORE YOU IS OUR BRAND NEW PROGRESSION BAR THAT LOOKS AT HOW WE ARE DOING ON A DAILY BASIS SO OUR TEAMS ARE KEEPING TRACK OF THE DATA ON A DAILY BASIS.
WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU AS OF JULY 19TH WHICH IS ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO TODAY.
OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS WE HAVE SEEN A 5% INCREASE WITH EACH OF THE WEEKS AS IT RELATES TO MOVING FORWARD FOR OUR TARGET.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? ON JULY 26TH WE SAW AN INCREASE OF 63.6%, THIS WAS LAST TUESDAY.
THIS MORNING WE RECEIVED OUR DATA AT 9:30 IN THE MORNING, I'M PROUD TO TELL YOU WE'RE AT 69.6% SO JUST ABOUT AT 70% OF OUR GOAL AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND IT IS AUGUST 2ND AND WE STILL HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THIS MONTH FOR THE 10 WEEK AND FIRST WEEK TERM TO START BUT MIDDLE OF OCTOBER FOR ALL OF FALL TO BE COUNTED INTO THE ENROLLMENT TARGET.
THIS IS SOMETHING I WANTED TO MAKE THE TEAM AWARE OF ON BEHALF OF OUR GROUP, THAT WE'RE CLOSELY MONITORING WHAT IT IS THAT WE ARE DOING AND HOW WE'RE GETTING THERE.
>> WHEN DO YOU TAKE THE BAR DOWN?
>> THAT WILL BE FOR THE LAST SIX WEEKS OF THE FALL.
>> RIGHT, THE SECOND EIGHT WEEKS OF THE FALL.
>> W WEEKS, I THOUGHT IT WAS 16 WEEKS.
>> I'M SORRY, I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE SUMMER.
>> NO, BUT YOU TALKED ABOUT 10 WEEKS IN THE SUMMER BUT DID YOU MISSPEAK WHEN YOU SAID 10 WEEKS IN THE FAIL?
>> Y SUMMER AND 16 TERMS AND TWO EIGHT WEEK TERMS.
>> IN THE FALL IT'S 16 WEEKS AND TWO EIGHT WEEK TERMS. IN THE SUMMER WE HAVE A 10 WEEK TERM AND TWO EIGHT WEEK TERMS AND A MAYMESTER.
>> I JUST HAD NOT HEARD OF THAT BEFORE.
>> M SUMMER IT'S 10 WEEKS BUT IN THE TERM IT'S 16.
SO WE'RE AT THIS MARK AS OF THIS MORNING.
THESE ARE THE FALL TRENDS AS IT RELATES TO FALL 2019 TO 2022.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THIS TOO, TOO WELL, BUT WE'RE DOING SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER AT THIS POINT IN TIME TODAY FOR FALL 2022 THAN WE WERE -- I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT -- PRE-PANDEMIC 2019.
THE GREEN LINE IS SHOWING WE WERE MORE OR LESS AT ABOUT 34,000 STUDENTS AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
WHAT YOU'RE SEEING BEFORE YOU IS A GRAPH THAT IS DEMONSTRATING HOW WE'RE PROGRESSING FROM 120 DAYS OUT FROM THE START OF THE SEMESTER.
SO ESSENTIALLY THAT 120 DAYS REPRESENTS ABOUT THE MONTH OF MAY.
SO EARLY MAY IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
SO 120 DAYS OUT WE BEGIN MEASURING THIS TREND AND YOU SEE HOW WE'RE DOING WELL BECAUSE THE RED LINE IS SHOWING THE CURRENT TRENDS FOR 2022.
>> I THINK THIS IS THE SLIDE THAT ALL OF US PAY ATTENTION TO QUITE A BIT.
THIS IS THE HOPE SLIDE AS WE SEE THE TREND THAT STUDENTS ARE COMING BACK AND THAT SOME OF OUR STRATEGIES
[00:30:05]
ARE LEADING THEM BACK.>> YES, THE EXCITING PART OF THIS PARTICULAR GRAPH IS THE FACT THAT WE'RE TRENDING HIGHER THAN WE DID IN THE FALL OF2019 AND THAT'S PRE-PANDEMIC SO WE'RE HELPFUL, THIS IS THE HOPEFUL SLIDE THAT SHOWS TRENDS.
>> A WAS DRAWN ON JULY 19TH AND MATCHED THE INFORMATION THAT I SHARED WITH YOU EARLIER AS FAR AS THE PROGRESSION BARS AND THAT THAT PROGRESSION LINE IS STILL INCREASING AND WE WILL TONIGHT TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO CHANCELLOR LONON SO HE KNOWS WHAT WE'RE DOING AND HOW WE'RE DOING AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE FALL.
LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SLIDE IN TERMS OF THE EFFORTS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE.
BEFORE YOU, I HAVE IDENTIFIED FIVE KEY THINGS.
IT'S CERTAINLY NOT LIMITED TO THESE THINGS LISTED BEFORE YOU BUT THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EFFORTS TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW.
YOU SEE THE SPECIALIZED CAMPAIGNS.
WE IDENTIFIED FOUR SPECIFIC CAMPAIGNS.
I WILL SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT EACH IN JUST A LITTLE WHILE.
NEW STUDENT ORIENTATIONS, RADIO REMOTES, SATURDAYS FOR SUCCESS, WHICH WE NOW CALL SUPER SATURDAYS AND OUR EVENING TEAMS. IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT EACH OF THESE EFFORTS ARE TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW BUT THE SPECIALIZED CAMPAIGNS ARE THE ONES WE'RE FOCUSING ONTO IMPACT ENROLLMENT EVEN MORE.
WE LISTED THE DROP FOR NON-PAYMENT, GOOD TO GO STUDENTS, CLOSE TO COMPLETION AND REMOVAL OF SMALL BARRIERS.
IN A NUTSHELL I WILL EXPLAIN THAT DROP FOR NONPAYMENT IS ALL SUMMER LONG WE HAVE ENGAGED STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE AWARE OF PARTICULAR DEADLINES OR THE OPTIONS THEY HAVE FOR PAYMENT SHOULD THEY NOT BE ON FINANCIAL AID OR SHOULD THEY HAVE A PARTICULAR CHALLENGE THAT THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO MEET, HOW WE CAN HELP THEM SOLVE THAT SO THE DROP FOR NONPAYMENT IS AN EARLY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN.
THE GOOD TO GO STUDENTS, THAT TRANSLATES TO WE WANT YOU BACK.
THAT'S A CAMPAIGN WHERE WE'RE TAKING A LOOK AT STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT REENROLLED WITH US WITHIN THE LAST ACADEMIC YEAR.
THAT MEANS THE LAST TWO FULL TERMS, SO WE PUT A LIST OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT BE WITHIN US THE LAST YEAR AND THOSE ARE THE STUDENTS WE'RE OUTREACHING TO SO WE CAN SEE HOW TO HELP THEM.
GOOD TO GO MEANS THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PARTICULAR BARRIER BUT THEY HAVE DROPPED OUT.
TRUSTEE FLORES, THIS IS GOOD EXAMPLE OF STUDENTS WHO MAY HAVE DROPPED OUT BUT THEY CAN REENROLL.
THE CLOSE TO COMPLETION IS REALLY EXCITING, THE OTHERS ARE NOT BUT THIS GROUP IS TAKING A LOOK AT THESE STUDENTS WHO HAVE SIX HOURS OR LESS TO GO TO GRADUATE AND I TOOK PARTICULAR NOTES ON THIS ONE BECAUSE, AGAIN, OUR PATHWAY SPECIALIST THROUGH OUR SUCCESS TEAMS AND MY COLLEAGUE WHO YOU MIGHT KNOW IS ON MATERNITY LEAVE BUT I'M HAPPY TO REPORT ON HER BEHALF BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT A THOUSAND STUDENTS THAT ARE CLOSE TO COMPLETION AND OF THOSE THOUSAND STUDENTS, 353 STUDENTS REENROLLED IN THE SUMMER OR THE FALL TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THEIR CREDENTIAL SO KUDOS TO OUR STUDENT SUCCESS TEAM THAT'S WORK HARD.
LASTLY, A COMPREHENSIVE HOLDS INVENTORY, IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR US TO TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE STUDENTS WHO HAVE HOLDS AND REMOVE THOSE HOLDS THAT WERE NO LONGER NECESSARY OR COULD BE REMOVED AND WE COULD WORK WITH.
WE OPEN UP A NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN WHICH WE COULD REMOVE THE HOLDS AND ASSIST THEM TO P REGISTRATION.
>> SURE, YOU CAN HAVE A HOLD FOR NONPAYMENT, YOU NEED TO HAVE A HOLD BECAUSE YOU NEED TO SEE A SUCCESS COACH, FOR NOT HAVING A TRANSCRIPT OR FOR A FINE.
WE CAN LOOK AT THOSE HOLDS THAT SHOULD NOT IMPEDE REGISTRATION.
WE TAKE TIME TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE EASY TO SOLVE ISSUES AND IT ALSO GAVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE HOLDS THAT MAYBE NEED TO BE
[00:35:03]
REVISITED.ON ALL THESE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES, DO YOU HAVE SOMEBODY WHO CAN GO INTO OUR SYSTEM AND PULL THIS DATA FOR YOU OR ARE YOU WORKING WITH OUR TEAM?
>> NO, WE HAVE THE ANALYTICS TEAM THAT PULLS THE DATA FOR US AND SAYS THESE ARE THE STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY THAT HAVE SIX HOURS SHORT OF A CREDENTIAL.
>> SO BASICALLY YOUR PEOPLE, THEY JUST GIVE THEM THE PARAMETERS THAT THEY WANT AND THEY GO IN?
>> SO TRUSTEE COMPTON, LET ME SHARE WITH YOU A GOOD EXAMPLE.
THE GOOD TO GO CAMPAIGN, THE PARAMETERS ARE THE FOLLOWING.
ANY STUDENT WHO HAS 30 PLUS CREDITS WHO ARE NOT ON PROBATION OR SUSPENSION, WHO DO NOT OWE A FINE OR HAVE NOT GRADUATED OR TRANSFERRED OUT.
THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF PARAMETERS THAT OUR TEAMS WILL ASK OUR ANALYTICS TEAM TO QUERY A LIST OF STUDENTS AND CONTACT THEM.
THE LAST FOUR ESSENTIALLY ARE JUST A REPETITION OF THOSE SERVICES THAT WE HAVE ON GOING.
A NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION TAKING PLACE ON THURSDAY, PARTICULARLY FOR OUR EVENING STUDENTS.
THE FOCUS IS COLLEGE WIDE FOR EVENING STUDENTS.
OUR RADIO REMOTES, THAT TRANSLATES TO US WORKING WITH OUR RADIO STATIONS TO GET ALL OUR CAMPUSES TO SUPPORT REGISTRATION ON THE UPCOMING SATURDAYS ON AUGUST 6TH AND 13TH.
YOU KNOW SATURDAYS FOR SUCCESS FOR THE MOST PART AND LASTLY, I WOULD LIKE TO WRAP UP BY EXTENDING KUDOS TO OUR EVENING TEAMS WHO CONTINUE TO WORK, THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS WORK SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2020 FOR OUR NEW TRUSTEES TO BE AWARE OF, WE HAD AN EVENING TEAM THAT SERVES OUR STUDENTS THROUGH MIDNIGHT.
THIS IS SUPER EXCITING WE HAVE DEDICATED 3,000 HOURS FROM MAY 2ND TO DATE AND SERVED IN 1,500 SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS, 4,600-DROP IN STUDENTS.
THIS TEAM HAS DONE TREMENDOUS WORK FOR OUR STUDENTS SO KUDOS TO THAT TEAM AS WELL.
THANK YOU ALL FOR LETTING ME COVER THAT.
>> O COMPLETION, HOW FAR BACK DID YOU SAY THEY GO? TWO SEMESTER? TWO YEARS?
WE LOOK AT STUDENTS WITHIN THE CATALOG YEAR SIX HOURS OR LESS THAT THEY NEED CREDENTIAL.
>> O GOTTEN FOLLOWUP ON BERTHA, HOW THAT SOFTWARE IS WORKING WITH US, IF IT'S EFFECTIVE.
IF WE CAN GET THAT ON A MEETING
>> I RELATED BUT STUDENT SERVICES RELATED.
>> AND THEN BOTH CHAIR BRAVO AND MYSELF RECEIVED A COMPLEMENT ON OUR ADS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW ON THE MEDIA SO IF WE COULD SEE THEM, I TYPICALLY DON'T WATCH WHERE THEY'RE SEEING THEM.
>> A LINK, YES, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD IN A BOARD MEETING FOR US TO SEE THAT.
>> MY ONE SUGGESTION TO YOU IS THAT I THINK THAT, AGAIN, I KEEP COMING BACK SAYING I'M RUNNING INTO TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DO, THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DELIVER AND ONE OF THE AREAS THAT I THINK WOULD HELP THIS IS AT THE SPORTING EVENTS, AT THE FOOTBALL GAMES, THE BASKETBALL GAMES BECAUSE YOU HAVE STUDENTS WHO CARE ABOUT THEIR SCHOOL THAT ARE THERE AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE HAVE BIG BILLBOARDS NOW AT THE FOOTBALL STADIUMS AND FOR US TO TAKE OUR COMMERCIALS WE ALREADY HAVE, IT WOULD BE SO CHEAP TO RUN THOSE AT ALL THE FOOTBALL GAMES AND LET THE STUDENTS AND THE PARENTS THAT ARE IN THE AUDIENCE SEE THAT, SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU DO THAT LIKE RIGHT NOW
[00:40:03]
BECAUSE THE SEASON STARTS NEXT WEEK.>> SO THE FINANCE CHAIR IS EXPRESSING INTEREST IN THE MARKETING BUDGET.
[LAUGHTER] ANYONE ELSE? SO THE SUMMARIZE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I HEARD.
MORE GRANULARITY IN THE ENROLLMENT REPORTS AND GETTING QUESTIONS ABOUT PROGRESSION AND ENROLLMENT ON NON-CREDIT AND CERTAIN CERTIFICATES, COMPETITION WITH OTHER COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND ALSO EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOLS WHICH HAS BEEN REALLY THE DRIVER OF OUR ENROLLMENT GROWTH SO YOU CAN CONSIDER THOSE REFINEMENTS AS YOU BRING FORTH THE FUTURE ENROLLMENT.
AS YOU DESCRIBE THIS PROCESS, I LIKE TO COMPARE THIS TO THE MANUFACTURING BUSINESS.
YOU ORGANIZATION, SOMEONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ORDER ENTRY AND THERE'S A FACTORY WHERE THE PRODUCT IS DELIVERED AND MAYBE A DISTRIBUTION NETWORK THAT'S OUT THERE AND IT'S REALLY A CHALLENGE TO INTEGRATE THE FUNCTIONS OF AN ORGANIZATION THIS LARGE AND YOU HAVE MARKETING, IT, A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE INVOLVED IN ENROLLMENT.
MY GUESS IS PROBABLY HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE LEANING IN FOR US ON THAT.
JUST KEEP BUILDING THAT PROCESS.
THIS IS A PROCESS LIKE EMERITUS AND A DOZEN OTHER STUDENTS WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO INTEGRATE SEVEN DIFFERENT THINGS INTO ONE.
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OVER NIGHT BUT NOBODY IS PULLING HARDER FOR YOUR TEAM THAN THIS BOARD.
WE WANT TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO SUPPORT YOU AND WE HOPE DISCUSSIONS TODAY.
>> BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO THE CHANCELLOR, I WANT TO OFFER TO THE BOARD THIS IS A PREVIEW OF COMING ATTRACTIONS, OKAY? WE'RE NOT GETTING DEEP BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPONENTS BUT WHAT WE ASKED IS TO GIVE YOU A ROAD MAP FOR WHAT
[4.2. Advancement & Development: What Does It Really Mean?]
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IN THE FALL AND GET YOU THINKING ABOUT IT.THIS IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE PRESENTATION BECAUSE THERE'S A BUNCH OF STUFF UNDER THIS AREA.
JUST THE HIGHLIGHTS AND THIS TOPIC, THIS CONVERSATION IS IMPORTANT FOR A MULTITUDE OF REASONS, NOT JUST HOW WE'RE DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY BUT WE'RE TAKING A LOT ABOUT BUDGET HERE TODAY SO HOW DO WE STRATEGICALLY LOOK AT OTHER AVENUES OF REVENUE THAT MAKE SENSE? SO OUR FOUNDATION ALL HAS DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF THAT AND THE WORK THAT DR. FREEMON AND HER TEAM IS FOCUSING ON, WE HAVE THIS GREAT GRANTS MANAGEMENT TEAM THAT'S VERY STRATEGIC ABOUT WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE DO IT.
THANK YOU, COMMITTEE CHAIRS RITTER AND BRAVO AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
I APPRECIATE HAVING THIS TIME TO COME AND SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT ADVANCEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT.
YOU REMEMBER, HOPEFULLY, WHEN YOU WERE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND YOU WOULD WALK IN THE CLASSROOM AND THE TEACHER HAD, DEPENDING ON YOUR GENERATION, A MOVIE REEL SET UP OR A TV AND VCR SET UP AND YOU'RE AUTOEXCITED LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE A FUN DAY? WELL, THIS IS NOT THAT PRESENTATION.
[LAUGHTER] THIS IS THE THING WHEN YOU WALK IN AND THERE ARE SPELLING WORDS ON THE CHALKBOARD AND WE HAVE TO WORK DEFINITIONS.
[LAUGHTER] I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT ADVANCEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT IS.
WE'RE GOING TO STAY PRETTY HIGH LEVEL AND AS CHAIR RITTER EXPLAINED, WE WILL FOLLOW UP WITH SOME MORE PRESENTATIONS BUT WE WANT EVERYBODY TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH THE SAME CONTEXT AS WE TALK ABOUT INVESTMENT AND DEVELOPMENT SO LET'S MOVE ON.
TODAY I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT WHERE MAYBE YOUR TRADITIONAL THOUGHTS ANT ADVANCEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT ARE, MAYBE SOME OF YOUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES WITH THE OLD SCHO ADVANCEMENT AND WE MOVE TO HOW DO WE DEFINE ADVANCEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT HERE AT DALLAS COLLEGE IN OUR CURRENT ERA AND HOW THAT RENDERS A NEW MODEL FOR US DOING THAT WORK, SOME OF THE COMPONENT OFFENSE THAT MODEL AND THAT WILL GIVE YOU CONTEXT OF WHAT WE WILL BE COMING BACK TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT AND THAT ROAD MAP OF HOW WE WILL COME BACK AND SHARE THOSE PRESENTATIONS I WILL SHARE WITH YOU AT THE END OF OUR
[00:45:03]
TIME TOGETHER.SO T FAMILIAR TO A FEW OF YOU WHEN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WHEN PIPER AND SOME OF ME OTHER COLLEAGUES PRES AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES.
WE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT ADVANCEMENT AND HOW IT'S CHANGED OVER TIME.
WE HAVE MOVED TO CELL PHONES NOW WITH A BROADER USE THAN BEFORE YOU CAN TEXT, SEND EMOJIS, HOWEVER YOU WANT TO COMMUNICATE.
WE HAVE MOVED TO MORE OF A MODEL WHERE WE ARE ACTUALLY FOCUSED ON LEVERAGING THE STUDENTS AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AS WELL.
YOU ADVANCEMENTS, ALUMNI AND FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS BUT THAT'S NOT WHERE WE NEED TO OPERATE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY
>> D DEFINITION OF ADVANCEMENT ALSO INCLUDE EXTERNAL FUNDING LIKE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR GRANTS? I HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT IN THAT POCKET BUT AM I THINKING ABOUT IT THE WRONG WAY?
>> THAT'S A NARROW WAY AND THIS IS A MORE COMPREHENSIVE WAY AND I WILL TALK ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S MORE IN OUR PRIVATE CIRCLE OF RESOURCES.
WE DO HAVE THE PUBLIC RESOURCES AS WELL WHEN TALKING ABOUT DOL BUT WE ALSO HAVE OPPORTUNITIES THAT MAY NOT BE MONETARY.
>> I SEE THESE THINGS LISTED AS PHILANTHROPIC BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY.
>> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THAT BUT NOT ONLY THAT.
YOU'RE GETTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD BUT IT'S INCLUSIVE OF SOME OTHER OPPORTUNITIES ALONG WITH THOSE GRANT STUDENTS.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PARTNERSHIP, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND I WILL GET MORE INTO THAT AS WELL BUT YOU'RE HITTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD BECAUSE YOU DON'T SEE THOSE THINGS ON THE SCREEN BECAUSE THE CONV ADVANCEMENT IS NOT IN THOSE TRADITIONAL WAYS WE THINK ABOUT DEVELOPMENT AND ADVANCEMENT.
IN OUR FORMER STRUCTURE, WE HAD ADVANCEMENT HERE AND THERE.
WE HAD SOME RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AT EVERY CAMPUS, EVERY COLLEGE, BUT WE WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE.
WE DIDN'T HAVE A REAL STRA INSTITUTION.
WE HAD SOME SMALL SUCCESSES, BUT THOSE SMALL SUCCESSES WERE GREAT FOR THE POT OF STUDENTS BUT WE NEVER SCALED THAT WORK.
WE NEVER REALLY WERE USING A STRATEGIC, INTENTIONAL WAY TO LEVERAGE OUR FOOTPRINT IN THIS MASSIVE NETWORK TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE NEEDS AND THE CALL FOR OUR STUDENTS BUT ALSO POTENTIAL STUDENTS THAT WE WANTED TO BRING IN THE DOOR.
NOW THAT WE HAVE CENTRALIZED AND BROUGHT TOGETHER A MORE COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO ADVANCEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT, WE'RE HITTING THE MARK MORE AND POSITIONING OURSELVES TO BE ABLE TO DO SOME SCALEABLE WORK.
WE MISSED THE MARK A LITTLE BIT.
IN THE GRANT SPACE ESPECIALLY, THERE WAS NO STRATEGY AND THERE WERE TIMES THAT WE WERE JUST REACTIONARY TO GRANT OPPORTUNITIES AND WE WOULD TAKE IN DOLLARS THAT DIDN'T NECESSARILY ALIGN WITH OUR MISSION AT THE TIME OR OUR GOALS AND THEY DIDN'T NECESSARILY HIT THE MARK FOR ADVANCING THE COLLEGE.
THEY WERE GOOD BUDGET FILLERS FOR THE MOMENT BUT THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF ALIGNMENT WITH THE ACTUAL MISSION THAT WE WERE TRYING TO DRIVE FORWARD AS THE COLLEGE OR AS THE DCCCD.
THIS GRAPHIC JUST APPEARS TO BE A BINGE OF CHAOS THAT REALLY DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.
>> Y MAKE SENSE OF IT BUT IT'S ABSOLUTE CHAOS.

>> C EXAMPLE OF A PLACE WHERE WE TOOK MONEY THAT WAS TOTALLY MARGINAL IMPACT? WHEN DID WE TAKE IN MONEY AND PURSUE RESOURCES THAT HAVE ONLY HAD A MARGINAL IMPACT ON OUR STUDENTS? WHAT ARE SOME OF THESE ILLUSTRATIONS?
>> I EXAMPLE WHERE I CAN'T TELL YOU THE EXACT PROGRAMMING BUT THERE WAS A GRANT THAT ALLOWED US TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT AND WE WERE THINKING THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO STAND UP A PROGRAM TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT EQUIPMENT, BUT THERE WAS NOT A LOT OF DATA TO SUPPORT THAT AND SO WE WEREN'T ABLE TO REALLY PHILLY UTILIZE THE EQUIPMENT TO MAXIMIZE THOSE EFFORTS AND THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE EXAMPLES.
MANY, MANY YEARS AGO, PROBABLY 15 YEARS AGO THAT THAT EQUIPMENT REALLY DID JUST SIT BECAUSE WE WERE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF, HEY, HERE'S A DOLLAR SIGN, LET'S GRAB IT.
WE'RE JUST NOT OPERATING THAT WAY ANYMORE.
WE NEVER MOVE INTO THAT SPACE ANYMORE BUT I HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME SO I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
ANYMORE QUESTIONS ON THE CHAOS HERE? SO MOVING AWAY FROM CHAOS AND HAVING SOME CONSISTENCE AND DEFINITION, THIS IS WHER CHALKBOARD AND DEFINE ADVANCEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT AT DALLAS COLLEGE NOW.
I THINK CHAIR RITTER BROUGHT UP THE FACT THAT HE WAS THINKING GRANTS AND THAT IS THE OLD WORLD OF DEVELOPMENT WHERE IT'S JUST ABOUT GRANTS.
WHERE ARE SOME GRANTS? HOW CAN WE GRAB THEM? CAN WE RUN AROUND WITH A BUCKET AND CATCH WHICH EVER ONES FALL OUR WAY? AND TODAY WE'RE NOT HANDLING THINGS THAT WAY.
WE ARE ACTUALLY USING DEVELOPMENT WORK THAT INVOLVES THE COLLABORATIVE, IT'S REALLY ACROSS FUNCTIONAL RELATION AND REFINEMENT AND IMPROVEMENT OF SOLUTIONS FOR SCALEABILITY AND MOVING OUR MISSION FORWARD.
WE'R INTERNALLY AND WE'RE COLLABORATING EXTERNALLY.
FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MAY HAVE IN THE PAST HAD MAYBE DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES, FACULTY, GET IN A LITTLE CLOSET AND DECIDE WE WANT TO GO FOR A GRANT AND NOT BE INCLUSIVE OF WHAT IS THAT GOING TO RENDER ON THE OUTPUT? WHO ELSE DO WE NEED TO INVOLVE? DO WE NEED TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH TISHA SO SHE DOESN'T SLAP OUR HANDS? WHAT HAPPENS? SO WE DO THESE THINGS COLL ANALYTICS SO FIGURE OUT WHERE DO WE SEEK OUT FUNDS? WHAT KIND OF FUNDS DOES THAT LOOK LIKE AND BE VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT THAT WORK INSTEAD OF BEING REACTIONARY AND BEING MORE PROACTIVE.
THE ADVANCEMENT SIDE OF THE HOUSE IS A LITTLE MORE BROAD WHERE IT'S NOT ONLY ABOUT PHILANTHROPIC EFFORTS.
IT CAN BE RELATIONSHIPS, THE NATURE OF THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AND DOLLARS, BUT WE'RE LOOKING TO SEEK OUT WHAT RESOURCES ARE IN OUR NETWORK THAT HELP US ANSWER THE CALL OF SOLVING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS NARROWING THE GAPS, OR MEETING THE NEEDS OF EMPLOYERS AND THE COMMUNITY AND OUR STUDENTS AT LARGE? SO FROM THAT DEFINITION, WE MOVE FROM THE OLD CHAOS VERSION, WE GOT A CLEAR DEFINITION SO WE CAN HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH THAT SHOWS HOW WE'RE STRUCTURED AT DALLAS COLLEGE AND THERE ARE FOUR MAYOR COMPONENTS OF US DOING THAT WORK.
ONE IS WHAT WE CALL SPONSORED PROGRAMS WHICH WE USED TO CALL SIMPLY GRANTS BUT SOME SPONSORED PROGRAMS MAY NOT NECESSARILY RENDER FUNDS.
IT IS A PARTNER THAT SUPPORTS A PROGRAM AND THEY HAVE ALL OF THE RESOURCES ON THEIR SIDE OF THE HOUSE.
IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT'S FITTING TO THE COMMON GOAL BETWEEN US AND OUR PARTNERS.
SO WE HAVE A PREAWARD PORTION OF
[00:55:01]
SPONSORED PROGRAMS WHICH IS ON THE FRONT END THAT TAKES A LOOK AT WHAT THE NEEDS ARE, WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE COLLEGE? WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY? AND WHAT KIND OF DOLLARS CAN WE SEEK TO HELP MOVE THOSE EFFORTS FORWARD? AND POST AWARD IS AFTER WE GET THE DOLLARS, HOW DO WE MEAT METE THE GOALS WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO MEET AND HOW DO WE STAY WITHIN REGULATIONS AS WELL? THE OTHER COMPONENT IS SPONSORED PROGRAMS AND SPONSORSHIPS AND THOSE ARE SOME OF OUR PRIVATE AND SPECIAL PROJECTS THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BEING GOOD STEWARDS OF THOSE DOLLARS AND ALSO WE ARE LOOKING FOR GARNERING SPONSORSHIPS, FOR EXAMPLE, CONFERENCE DAY.WE REACH OUT TO PARTNERS AND SEE WHO WANTS TO SUPPORT IN A PARTNERSHIP THOSE EFFORTS AND THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS BUT I WON'T GO INTO EVERYTHING THAT WE DO THERE.
THEN ENGAGEMENT, AN INNOVATIVE WAY FOR US TO REACH OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY, BEGIN TO BUILD PARTNERSHIPS AND PARTNERSHIPS AND HELP THE COMMUNITY LEVERAGE PART THEMSELVES AND THAT HAPPENS IN SOME OF OUR COALITION WORK AND THE LAST COMPONENT IS ADVANCEMENT STRATEGY AND THAT IS WHERE WE ACTUALLY BRING A COHESIVE PLAN TOGETHER AND WE'RE NOT DUPLICATED EFFORTS LIKE WE DID WHEN WE WERE SEVEN INSTITUTIONS AND WE'RE NOT STUMBLING OVER EACH OTHER WHEN WE WERE SEVEN INSTITUTIONS BUT LOOKING AT A WAY OF DOING THIS IN A WAY OF ENHANCING WHAT WE HAVE AND SCALING IT.
THESE RELA DESCRIBING HAVE TO BE MANAGED FOR THE INSTITUTION AND THE COLLEGE AS A WHOLE AND ONE OF OUR CHALLENGES, AS YOU DESCRIBE, WE HAVE HAD SEVEN SEPARATE BUT AT THE SAME TIME, ONE OF THE THINGS I WILL BE LOOKING FOR IN SUBSEQUENT PRESENTATIONS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WHILE WE ARE MANAGING WHOLISTICALLY FOR THE INSTITUTION, WE ARE NOT STIFLING THE INNOVATION IN THE ORGANIZATION WHO SEE OPPORTUNITIES TO DO THINGS THAT ARE COOL.
PRESIDENTS, DEANS, FACULTY, EVERYBODY.
THE RISK OF THESE TYPES OF CENTRALIZATION VERSUS DECENTRALIZATION TYPES OF DISCUSSIONS IS THAT WE GET SO CENTRALIZED AND BUREAUCRATIC THAT PEOPLE DON'T THINK THEY CAN MOVE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND HERE WHO WANT TO MOVE AND I KNOW YOU WANT TO HARNESS THEM SO THAT'S JUST A COMMENT.
>> I COMMENTS, TRUSTEE RITTER, CHANCELLOR, DO WE STILL HAVE NEW PROGRAM FUNDING WHICH IS EXACTLY THAT IF COLLEGES OR THE DEPARTMENT OR WHOEVER HAS AN INNOVATIVE AREA, THEY WANT FUNDING TO TEST IT OUT OR WHATEVER?
>> YEAH, THERE'S A LOT AREA THAT WANT TO TRY NEW THINGS.
WE TALKED EARLIER THIS WEEK ABOUT NEW PROGRAMS AND HOW WE IDENTIFIED USING PROGRAMS THAT ARE NEEDED BY ALSO THOSE THAT MAY BE MORE EMERGING AND WHAT TRUSTEE BOYD HAS TALKED ABOUT, CUTTING EDGE THAT WILL LEAN IN ON A LITTLE BIT SO WE TRY TO LEAVE SOME BUDGETARY ROOM TO BE ABLE TO TRY THOSE NEW THINGS.
>> W PRESENTATION IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO EXPRESS WHAT I SAID BEFORE, IN THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING NEEDS TO BE BLOWN UP.
I KNOW WITH A BOND ISSU INNOVATION CENTER.
WHAT AN INNOVATION CENTER IS SUPPOSED TO BE IS A PRODUCT OF WHAT'S IN ONE OF THOSE BLOCKS SO HOW WE APPROACH THAT INNOVATION CENTER TO ME IS SO CRITICAL AND I THINK THAT WE DON'T HAVE TIME TODAY TO GET INTO
[01:00:09]
THE DETAILS.I APPRECIATE HOW HARD IT IS FOR YOU TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE WHEN DEVELOPMENT WORK ENDS IN SCALE OF WORK BUT CARRIES OUT THE DALLAS COLLEGE MISSION.
DALLAS COLLEGE MISSION, WHAT IS IT? IT'S A BUNCH OF WORDS BUT WHEN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THAT AND THEN END IT WITH DALLAS COLLEGE MISSION, ONLY ONE-TENTH OF ONE-HALF OF A PERCENT KNOWS WHAT THOSE WORDS MEANT.
WHEN YOU SAY THESE THINGS YOU NEED TO SAY IT WITH MEANING AT THE END, NOT A TITLE AND I DON'T WANT TO GO MORE INTO THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TIME BUT I WANT US TO BE MORE SPECIFIC.
WE CAN SAY WELL WE DON'T HAVE TIME BUT WE HAVE TO START TAKING MORE TIME.
WE HAVE TO START BEING INVOLVED IN MORE DETAILS AND, AGAIN, I KNOW I WEAR THIS OUT BUT I THINK THIS IS THE GROUP THAT'S GOING TO HELP US WALK THROUGH THIS PLAN, TO HAVE MORE MEAT ON THE BONES ON WHAT THIS MEANS.
>> ANYBODY ELSE? I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU, WHEN YOU BRING THESE PRESENTATIONS BACK, TO MONETIZE EACH OF THESE AREAS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BRING BACK BECAUSE INNOVATION IS GREAT BUT INNOVATION AIN'T FREE.
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT KIND OF RESOURCES CAN BE BROUGHT TO BARE, DOLLARS.
THERE'S NO MONETIZATION IN THIS.
IT'S THAT KIND OF THING THAT THE BOARD CAN SEE TO HELP CREATE ACCOUNTABILITY IN THIS SPACE.
>> T SOMETIMES WE MISS, IT'S KIND OF LIKE WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO DEAL WITH A BUDGET ISSUE, EVERYBODY SAYS WE HAVE TO CUT COSTS.
NO, WE HAVE TO INCREASE REVENUE.
THAT'S AS IMPORTANT AS CUTTING COSTS SO MY THING ABOUT INNOVATION IS I DON'T CARE IF SOME COMPANIES BRING MONEY.
IF THEY BRING US AN IDEA AND AN OPPORTUNITY, THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER PARTNER WHO MIGHT BRING THE MONEY AND WE BECOME THE MIXER.
WE WANT PEOPLE TO BRING OUTLANDISH IDEAS WHO DON'T HAVE MIN.
WE BRING IT TOGETHER AND WHEN IT GETS COMMERCIALIZED, WE TAKE A SHARE OF THAT MONEY.
WE BENEFIT FROM WHAT WAS CONTRIBUTED AND THAT'S HOW WE MONETIZE EVERYTHING THING WE DO GOING FORWARD.
>> T CONVERSATIONS WE PLAN TO HAVE WITH YOU BEYOND COMING TO THE BOARD WRITING OUT THE DEFINITION.
AND SO I WANT TO KIND OF START WITH THAT TICKLER SHARING SOME NUMBERS ABOUT HOW THIS NEW MODEL TRANSFORMED WORK QUICKLY AND I WILL GIVE YOU EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT TRUSTEE BOYD WAS SPEAKING ABOUT US BEING THE MIXER FOR MANY OF THESE OPPORTUNITIES OF SOLVING SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS. AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STEWARD $349 MILLION IN GRANT PROJECTS AND WE'LL TALK TO YOU MORE ABOUT THAT.
ALSO AS A RESULT OF OUR NEW STRUCTURE, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HOST 80 NEW UNDUPLICATED NON-PROFIT AND FAITH-BASED COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WHICH IS CRITICAL TO US GETTING INTO COMMUNITIES WHERE WE HAVE NOT BUILDING TRUST, BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS AND BRINGING EDUCATION TO THOSE SPACES BUT ALSO HELPING THOSE INSTITUTIONS LEVERAGE THEIR RELATIONSHIPS AS WELL FOR US TO BETTER MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.
>> WE HAD EVENTS, TRAINING FOR COMMUNITY -BASED
[01:05:01]
ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL.>> SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PARTNERSHIPS?
>> W EVENTS, ONE AT EACH COLLEGE.
DID I SAY COLLEGE? AT EACH CAMPUS WE HAD EVENTS IN WHICH WE INVITED THE COMMUNITY TO ENGAGE AND WE HAVE COALITION MEETINGS WHERE WE INVITE IN COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION.
FROM THOSE, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OFFER TRAINING SO USE THAT RESOURCE AS WELL FOR THE POPULATIONS THAT THEY SAVE.
>> Y ALL OF THIS IN A PROCEEDING PRESENTATION?
>> I WILL UNPACK ALL OF THAT AND THEN SOME.
OVER THE LAST YEAR, 12 MONTHS WE HAVE ENGAGED IN OVER 350 NEW LARGE AND SMALL BUSINESSES AND THEN WITH US HAVING A REAL STRATEGY AROUND ALUMNI, WE RECRUITED 1,100 NEW MEMBERS TO THAT AND WE THINK THAT'S A GOOD DEAL BECAUSE BEFORE WE WOULD SEND A NEWSLETTER OR ASK FOR A DONATION BUT WE WANT TO ACCESS THEIR NETWORK AND RESOURCES THEY HAVE IN THEIR RESOURCE POT AS FAR AS HELPING US TRAN COMMUNITIES FOR HIGHER EDUCATION.
>> WE NEED TO START WRAPPING UP, IRIS.
I JUST WANT TO HIGH PROJECTS THAT YOU MAY HAVE SEEN PRESS RELEASES ON, THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION GRANT, WHICH IS A BIG DEAL.
THE TRUE GRANTS FROM THE COORDINATING BOARD AND THE DALL APPRENTICESHIP BUILDING AMERICA GRANT THAT CAME FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.
ALL OF THESE ARE GREAT EXAMPLES OF US BEING THE MIXER, BRINGING TOGETHER PARTNERS, BRINGING TOGE PARTNERS AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND WE JUST SIT AS THE ANCHOR IN HELPING TO FACILITATE THE WORK SO WE'RE DOING A BROAD COMPREHENSIVE LIFT FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND FOR OUR STUDENTS.
THE ONLY THING I WANT TO SHARE HERE WITH YOU.
I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE LIST BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF SUCCESSES SINCE WE HAD OUR RESTRUCTURE.
WE'RE MAKING GREAT RIPPLES IN THE WORK BUT LIKE TRUSTEE BOYD AND RITTER HAPPENED, THERE'S SOME BLOW UP THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY BLOW UP BUT I SAID RIPPLES BUT WE NEED TO MAKE WAVES AND WE NEED SUPPORT FROM THE BOARD AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
>> I COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, THAT'S CERTAINLY NEEDED, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT AND THAT NEEDS TO BE CONSISTENT, HOWEVER, THERE ARE SEVERAL AREAS IN DALLAS COUNTY THAT BY FEDERAL DEFINITION, ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED, ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED SO IF Y'ALL COULD INCREASE THAT SOUTHERN DALLAS PLUS AND IT THERE NORTHWEST DALLAS AREA THAT COMES TO MIND.
WEST DALLAS THAT'S NOT GOING THROUGH GENTRIFICATION RIGHT NOW, SOUTH IRVING, ETC. SO NOT JUST ONE AREA THAT'S ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED AND IF YOU COULD GET SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW YOU INCREASE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN THOSE SECTORS.
>> I THOUGHT YOU WERE SAYING GET ON WITH IT, THAT'S WHY I WENT TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
SO ALL WE DID WAS GO TO THE BOARD -- DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
>> I WAS HOPING THIS IS NOT WHERE WE ENDED BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT TO UNPACK AND ALL WE DID WAS GO TO THE BOARD AND WRITE THE DEFINITIONS OF WHAT ADVANCEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT IS NOW.
SO ENDING THIS PRESENTATION LIKE THIS, WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU WITH MORE PRESENTATIONS.
>> THIS GRAPHIC TELLS ME YOU ALSO HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT SO YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THE BEFORE AND AFTER.
>> I WAS HOPING THAT IT GAVE YOU THE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS
[01:10:05]
IS WHY WE BRING EVERYTHING SO YOU WOULDN'T FALL OUT ON ME.>> THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT TOGETHER.
WE MADE GREAT PROGRESS BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE WE'RE A LEARNING ORGANIZATION AND WE SHOULD BE, SO WE KEEP DOING THE WORK IMPACTFUL.
SO I WON'T GO OVER THIS BECAUSE I HAVE IT IN FRONT OF YOU, BUT WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU THREE TIMES WITH CARRYING OUT THOSE COMPONENTS OF WHAT WE DO BUT THE ONLY HIGHLIGHT I DID WANT TO SHARE IS ON THE LAST WOULD BE WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT ADVANCEMENT STRATEGY, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT BY WE'LL ALSO SHARE MORE DETAIL ABOUT MONETIZING IT IN THAT PARTICULAR PRESENTATION TO GIVE YOU GUYS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THAT.
AND IN CLOSING, I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT FLUFFY BUT I JUST NEED FOR YOU GUYS TO KEEP THIS DEFINITION IN MIND WHEN WE COME BACK TO YOU AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE WORK AND MORE DETAILED CONVERSATIONS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS WHEN YOU'RE ENGAGING EXTERNALLY BECAUSE WE'RE ENGAGING EXTERNALLY.
YOUR PRIORITIES AND HOW THIS WORK HELPS FOR FORWARD, POLICIES WE MAY HAVE TO COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT THAT, HOW WE CAN BE MORE FLEXIBLE, A LITTLE QUICKER AND BEING ABLE TO RESPOND AND THESE CHANGES FOR US TO BLOW THINGS UP AND MAKE WAVES AND TRIPLE TO WORK WE KNOW NEEDS TO BE DONE.
I THINK WE HAVE BEEN GOOD IN RESPONDING TO THE COMMUNITY BUT WHEN 80% OF THE STUDENTS WE SOLVE FROM FROM UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATION, THERE ARE STILL A TON THAT HAVEN'T MADE IT TO OUR DOORS AND THIS WORK HERE, THE COLLABORATION OF BIG A MIXER IN THIS NETWORK IS GOING TO HELP US GET THERE.
RATHER THAN BLOW THINGS UP CONSIDER THINGS LIKE ORGANIZATION REORGANIZATION.
I THINK YOU'RE GOING AT IT AT THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
I THINK YOU HAVE GIVEN US A REALLY, REALLY GOOD ROAD MAP TO ENGAGE THE BOARD HERE.
WE HAVE BEEN CONSIDERING COMING ON EARLIER, LET US LOOK UNDER THE HOOD AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING.
THERE'S A LOT OF INTEREST AND FEEDBACK.
>> ANYWAY, WE LOOK FORWARD TO GOING DOWN THAT ROAD WITH YOU AND APPRECIATE ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS AREA BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO DO.
>> OPEN THE HOOD IS BETTER THAN OPEN THE COMMODE.
>> W BLOWUP OR WHATEVER, I THINK IT TAKES AN ABOUT FACE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, NOT JUST 90 DEGREES BUT 180 DEGREES, REALLY.
BUT THE WORDS ADVANCEMENT, DEVELOPMENT AND ADVANCEMENT, THOSE ARE SO COLLEGEY.
WHAT'S ANOTHER WORD THAT TALKS ABOUT CREATIVITY AND SOMETHING?
[6. Executive Session]
LET'S BE DIFFERENT.IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE WHAT YOU SAID THE LAST 50 YEARS, DEVELOPMENT AND ADVANCEMENT.
WHAT'S A TERM THAT SOCIETY WOULD RECOGNIZE? MOST PEOPLE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT
[01:15:01]
DEVELOPMENT AND ADVANCEMENT MEANT.>> THANK YOU, MORE TO COME ON THIS.
WE NEED TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
ANY WORDS THAT NEED TO BE RECITED?
>> LET'S ADJOURN AND WE WILL COME BACK.
WE'RE GOING INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR CONSULT WITH ATTORNEY, PERSONAL MATTERS RELATING TO APPOINTMENT EMPLOYMENT, REAL PROPERTY, AND SECURITY.
IT'S NOW 11:48 SO WE WILL GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION UNTIL PROBABLY AROUND 12:30.
