1)  Review of CANVAS platform for committee to collect information around IBEST resources

The course platform was ready for committee members to add information into to prep for sharing IBEST strategies with the entire state system. Members received reminders to add material, but many committee members were unsure of how to frame the content. Together, the committee added materials for two sections, and also worked as pairs/individually on sections.

2)  The group debriefed on the WEC/IBEST pathway activity, and Carla reported that Janice Walker would present to the big group the next day.

3)  The group reviewed how their work this year has fit into the workplan. The committee has met its goals that it set out to do in the workplan.

4)  There was a discussion on IBEST and advising. Jon Kerr shared some insights on how he bridged the gap with Student Services.

5)  Katie and Carla reminded the group that, under the new bylaws, they would be stepping down as co-chairs. They encouraged fellow members to take on the committee leadership to forward the work and for professional development.
