• Mary opened with a review of the minutes from the last meeting and the meeting purpose.
• Mary introduced Katy Hall, the new Development and Communications Associate, as a new committee member. 
• Mary noted that we received a few more comments from our comment box that were addressed in the Product Advisement sub-committee meeting.
• Fay announced the dates and times of the upcoming Flexible and Agile Leaders workshops.  She noted that this would be a forum/workshop/training session sponsored by the Library Management Council (LMC), the Microcosm Group (MG) and the Communication Committee (CC).  A message went out to all Managerial and Professional (M&P) staff on the Library Human Resource source email list.  Katy passed around a sign up sheet for those interested in participating.  The dates are as follows
• Wednesday, August 13^th from 9-11 & 2-4 in the SML Lecture Hall
• Friday, August 22^nd from 3-5 in the SML Lecture Hall
• Fay reminded the committee of the August 20^th (9:30-11) joint meeting with LMC and MG, to be held in the Beaumont room of the Medical Library.  The purpose of this meeting is to develop outcomes and goals for the next Focus Forward meeting, which will be on October 8^th.  Once the MG group has disbanded, the CC will recommend future events if necessary.
• Mary brought everyone’s attention to the mission statement, which needed to be finalized.  Fay asked everyone to take a look at version 3 of the CC Mission Statement.  After revision, the committee finalized the mission.
• Karen updated the group on the status of the business cards.  Cards should be ready for the September liaison visits.
• Committee members agreed that liaisons to those departments without set meeting times would still attempt to arrange a meeting.
• The committee decided the next CC bulletin would include the list of liaisons and their respective departments. 
• Members who picked up their bulletins shared their experiences about contacting their respective departments.  Fay emphasized the importance of picking up and posting the CC bulletins in a timely manner.   Committee members agreed to take responsibility for having CC bulletins posted if they are unable.
• Katy talked about the strategic planning leaflet she is working on and sent a draft around to the committee.  She would like the group’s feedback as to who the target audience should be and what the design of the leaflet should be.  She also asked everyone to review the draft she handed out for unnecessary library jargon.  Committee members should also review the strategic planning documents on the LMC Web site and recommend what pieces should go to the new strategic planning Web site.
• Each sub-committees reported on what it had accomplished thus far.  For Measurement and Systems, Dana gave an update; Product Advisement, Karen gave an update and Process Creation, Jeffry and Pamela gave an update. 
• Diane noted that her subcommittee, Product Advisement, would be meeting with Jessica Linicus, current editor of Library Links, on August 7^th.  Anyone with comments or suggestions about the newsletter should let her know prior to the meeting.
• Next Steps:

• Fay will make edits discussed at today’s meeting regarding the CC’s mission statement and will send them to Mary and Jenn.
• Karen will continue to work on business cards for CC.
• Those members unable to pick up and post CC bulletin #1 should do so as soon they can.
• Jenn and Katy will work on CC bulletin #2.  A reminder to pick up the bulletins will be emailed with the final draft of the minutes.
• Liaisons will distribute flyers to their respective departments within one week of when the corrections are made.
• Everyone will take a look at the action plan drafts and should send comments to Katy by August 13^th. 
• The Process Creation Group will revise the CC guide based on committee comments.  Additional comments should be sent to Jeffry by August 8^th.
