Dear Course Coordinator Council,

Hello again!!!

Thank you for your feedback from our meeting follow up. Please review the below updates, clarifications, and action items.

· The updated survey ([|http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=31wgEncQznhlZcHS90E_2bdg_3d_3d]) is fabulous thanks to the Council and Jim’s extra efforts with the design. If you have any feedback on final revisions, please email me. · The links for administering and evaluating the survey reside at https://iworking.wikispaces.com/Evaluations. · Please update the survey url as necessary for your professional development. · Christine will ensure the survey is set up to be administered multiple times on a single computer.
 * Evaluation**


 * Conference Call**
 * Call time
 * I have received requests to schedule the call to begin at 2:30 rather than 3:00. If more than half the committee members do not object to a 2:30 start, we will employ the majority’s request of a 2:30 start time and Christine will update the Outlook invitation.
 * Service
 * I have received requests to use the for fee con call service to allow for land line calls.
 * Troy has not approved the expense of a weekly conference call for the Council and is reviewing the free con call service. He will provide feedback to us on which service we will use going forward after evaluating the free service.
 * Use of an earpiece will resolve the issue of Blackberry/computer interference.
 * Directors may have a code that allows for out-of-area calls. If you prefer to use a land line, please consult with your Director to see if this is a viable and/or acceptable option.


 * Hiring**
 * Each iProgram/borough is only responsible for interviewing candidates you select for your program and applicants from your borough who HAVE NOT already been selected for an iProgram. As of now, there are very few candidates who fall in this category.
 * If you and another iProgram have selected the same candidate, please coordinate with the iProgram Council member to discuss how you would like to interview the candidate i.e. together, just one takes the lead, each interviews separately then collaborates to determine what will be offered, etc.
