A MESSAGE FROM THE COUNCIL ON STAFF
AFFAIRS:
February
18, 2002
Dear
Colleagues:
The
Council on Staff Affairs (COSA) has been asked to participate in President
Ronald Zaccari’s Strategic Planning Retreat March 21-22-23. We have been asked to come to this meeting
to discuss the strengths of the university (on which we can continue to build
programs and services). We have also
been asked to discuss the areas of weakness that we believe will need special
attention in the planning process.
The
Council on Staff Affairs was formed to act as a conduit between the staff of
VSU and university administration. It
is our role to listen to your concerns and ideas and to share them with the
administration. We are serious about
this responsibility, and we see this strategic retreat as a key opportunity to
bring ideas and concerns to President Zaccari and his cabinet.
But we need to hear from you.
We would like to have you share with us your five areas of concern for
the university (from a staff perspective) and your ideas about solving these
concerns. All information that you
share with your COSA representatives will be treated in confidence and will be
formulated into a report that we take to the retreat. Your name or department will not be used in any of our reports or
discussions of the issues. If you have an email account, take the time to share
your concerns and ideas with a COSA representative, or give them a call, or
drop them a note. Please: this is the perfect time to share your ideas
and concerns and have them presented at a time and place where action items can
be formulated to affect change.
I am sending this message to the VSU Staff List Serve and
sending copies to all campus departments for posting on office bulletin
boards. We need to hear from you by
March 15th so we have time to review your comments and put them in a
format for our retreat participation.
