CCE now has a link off of the Palomar web page that was created by Leigh Squires.

Ernie reported that he was recently in Washington, D.C., attending the PSRP (Paraprofessionals and School-Related Personnel) Annual Convention at the Washington Hilton on the same night as the White House Annual Press Dinner. The Honorable Charles Rangel, Democrat from New York, was the keynote speaker. As a member of the House of Representatives, he is very pro-education. He gave a very inspiring speech to the 900-1,000 persons in attendance.

This coming weekend Ernie will be going to Sacramento to meet with Senator Craven, Assemblyman Kaloogian, and another Assembly member to address any legislation that will pertain to colleges.

From Sacramento, he will go to Pleasanton for a class for PeopleSoft.

6. INFORMATION

Report of Superintendent

Dr. Boggs reported that we have been informed by the ACCT that Dr. Mark Vernoy has won the 1998 ACCT Pacific Region Faculty Member Award. This is quite an honor. It is almost unheard of that two faculty members from the same college would receive this award in 1996 and 1998. Bonnie Ann Dowd was the 1996 recipient. The Pacific Region covers all the community colleges in California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, and some other states, so this is quite an honor. Dr. Boggs stated that he hopes some of the Board members can be there when Mark receives the award on Thursday, June 4, in Sun Valley, Idaho. Dr. White stated that she would attend.

Dr. Boggs displayed the plaque for the award previously mentioned for the Learning Paradigm video, "The Excellence in Video Production Award for Best Instructional Video." The title is "The Learning Paradigm," and Lisa Faas and William Flynn were the producers. It was awarded at the 1998 AECT Annual Conference and International Exposition, in St. Louis, Missouri. Corporate underwriters were PBS Adult Learning Satellite Service and the Community College Satellite Network.

Dr. Boggs display the plaque and reported that Bill Flynn is this year’s recipient of the National Council for Continuing Education and Training’s "National Leadership Award for Exemplary Service." This was presented at the AACC national convention in Miami Beach, Florida.

Dr. Boggs reported that Dr. George Mozes has been elected to the Executive Board for the Council of Chief Librarians and will be representing his colleagues from San Diego and Imperial Counties.

Dr. Boggs reported that Jayne Conway has been elected President of the Health Services Association of the California Community Colleges.

Dr. Boggs requested that Board members volunteer, if possible, to assist in our marketing efforts by promoting summer and fall classes at various recruiting exhibits. Volunteers were asked to call Barbara Anaya in Marketing Communications.

Dr. Boggs introduced Hugh "Mac" McKinney, who was selected "Classified Employee of the Year" recently. Harold Scofield presented the award to Hugh on Classified Staff Development Day. Dr. Boggs noted Hugh’s many contributions to the Library over a period of 20 years. Hugh had been a student at Palomar following retirement from the U.S. Marine Corp. He took Library Technology courses here and was hired as a Library Clerical Assistant in 1977. He is known as a man of character who contributes his handy-man capabilities and ingenuity by repairing and inventing things that work for the College. He is also working on a union list of periodicals held by the San Diego and Imperial County Colleges Consortium.

 

Dr. Boggs introduced Carmela Lutz who was selected as a runner-up to the "Classified Employee of the Year." She has developed a training program for student workers to organize their work in the Counseling Center. She has also worked on the Career Center testing service, bookstore interface, and many other projects in the Counseling Center.

Dr. Boggs also noted that Norma Skific, who was unable to be present, was also selected as a runner-up to the "Classified Employee of the Year." She has been a great contributor to the College and was nominated particularly for her work on the Learning Paradigm Conference and her problem-solving abilities. She set up many of the logistical things for the Learning Paradigm Conference, including creation of a database, design and implementation of the direct mailing campaigns, responding to all incoming inquiries, as well as performing sophisticated invoicing, fiscal tracking, and registration. Norma was able to do all this with very little direction, in addition to performing her regular responsibilities as Off-Site Operations Specialist in Media, Business, and Community Services.

Dr. Boggs remarked that we have a great classified staff, and these three persons are our very best. He congratulated them on their accomplishments.

Dr. Boggs reported that we received some wonderful news from the Chancellor’s Office that we had received a CalWORKS Grant to go along with our Child Care Grant which will allow us to remodel the bank building at the Escondido Center into a Child Care Center. The grant was large enough to provide money to remodel the current facilities here on the San Marcos campus. He thanked Pat Schwerdtfeger and Paul Kelly for the great amount of work they did in making the project a reality.

Dr. Boggs reminded the Board members of the SDICCCA Trustees’ Dinner on April 29.
