Old Business

1. Fall Activities:  Jerry stated that the first "Lunch and Learn"
Workshop, Great Customer Service by Nicole Bremness, will be held tomorrow
at 12:00 noon in 2-241.  He also mentioned the upcoming Hawaii Great
Teachers Seminar Teachers Talking and an open discussion Teachers Talking
Seminar.  Lorrie Cahill, Career Readiness and Job Placement Center
Coordinator, is presenting a Career Access Training Session on December 2.
Faculty Development is co-sponsoring.  Rona stated that she has viewed the
Career Access website and there are many very practical topics for
students on it.  Jerry also mentioned that Leon Florendo is unavailable to
offer a True Colors Workshop this fall but would be able to do one in the
spring.

2. Faculty Development Newsletter:  Jerry stated that the fall issue of
the Newsletter has been distributed and posted on the Faculty Development
Website.  Rona stated that Silvan Chung wants to write an article on
career counseling for the spring issue.  Jerry encouraged other member to
think about writing an article addressing Faculty Development for the
spring issue also.

3. Perkins Leadership Professional Development Awards:  Bernadette
summarized HCC Perkins Fund activities.  We have received funding to send
one faculty member to the League for Innovation 2006 Innovations
Conference in Atlanta in March and one faculty member to a Skip Downing On
Course II Workshop in California in April.  Jerry will email this
information to faculty-l and solicit volunteers.  The same procedures that
are used to award campus Faculty Professional Development Funds will be
used to select HCC's attendees to these two professional development
activities.  Jerry also stated that he is chair of a UHCC System Perkins
Professional Development Committee, which had planned and coordinated
Perkins funded activities over the past two years.  The committee has no
set-aside money this year, however, the committee members are meeting in
December to investigate the possibility of pooling campus money for a
system-wide activity.  Bernadette shared that HCC is also receiving
Perkins funds for several program faculty members to receive Palm Pilots
to track student progress on SLOs/course tasks from the lab/shop floor.

4. Entertainment Book sales: Thirty-five Entertainment books have been
sold.  Those with books remaining were encouraged to finalize the sales
soon so this fundraiser can be completed by December 1 at the latest.

5. Holiday Party:  Guy Shibayama is leading the effort to organize an
HCC/ATCAH Christmas Party in the Cafeteria on December 2.  Jerry stated he
will email Guy informing him the Faculty Development Committee members
would be willing to help and ask where help is needed.

New Business

1. Foundation Account:  The committee members agreed to fund a lei and
light refreshments for the "Lunch and Learn" presentation tomorrow.
  
2. Spring Activities:  Lisa, Monir and Jeannie will continue to plan
activities for the spring semester.  Sheryl stated that although folks
from Leeward Community College suggested having a system-wide WILD day in
March, the Wo Learning Champions discussed this and agreed that this WILD
will be held on individual campuses.  The major problem with a joint day
is funding to support neighbor island travel.  She stated that Louise
Pagotto suggested that perhaps in the future polycomm meetings could be
organized for each discipline.  Sheryl summarized the plans for HCC's
WILD:

8:00	Welcome and open activity - inspirational video, perhaps one by
	Ben Zandor
8:30	Breakouts - Tech Strand and Health and Wellness Strand
10:00	Breakouts
12:00	Lunch
1:00 	Afternoon excursion
	Ideas: 	Health and Wellness visits to areas hospitals
		Working trip to Gary Gill's environmental site in Kalihi
		Valley
		Repeat Royal Mausoleum/Pali Lookout

Sheryl asked for additional afternoon excursion ideas. Food for WILD was
discussed.  Sheryl stated that Wo will provide $595 to HCC for WILD and we
will charge a $5 registration fee for those attending.  Lisa suggested
that Sheryl contact Starbucks or Lion Coffee to see if either would donate
coffee for the morning continental breakfast.

3. Professional Development Awards:  Two applications were received for
Faculty Professional Development funds this semester.  One is from Bob
Vericker for travel to a Mainland conference in the spring.  The members
agreed to defer this application to the spring semester when it will be
evaluated with the other "major travel" applications.  The committee
members also agreed to only go back to the Fall 2003 semester for
eligibility for receiving funds this year.  Jerry reminded all that the
maximum limit for awards was raised to $1200 during the Spring 2005
semester.  Milton Tadaki submitted an application for funds for I-CAR
training in the spring.  He was awarded $450 to attend five training
sessions next spring.  Jerry will notify him and also the Fiscal Office so
the funds can be transferred into the ABRP account.

Open Discussion

1. Jerry stated that Pat Patterson informed him that he has to resign from
the Faculty Development Committee due to being too stretched time-wise
this year.  Jerry asked all to solicit a replacement from our University
College colleagues as paths cross on campus.

The next meeting is scheduled for a Thursday, January 19, 3:00 pm,
location TBA.  Jerry told Sheryl that if the WILD Day needs attention that
could not be handled via email, a special meeting could be held.

The meeting was adjourned at 3:50 pm.
