Committee sign up: Ellen is trying to find someone to run the silent auction. She does not have time and unless someone steps up we will not have a silent auction as the fundraiser. It was discussed that CSO staff needs to help out on whatever committees they can so that our fundraiser can be successful. UAP observation will be one of the first positions that will need to be filled.
Recognition Committee: None
Bylaws Committee:Bylaw committee may need to review and make the bylaws a little clearer. Also, bylaws were reviewed for the current situation with Kati stepping in for Patty while she is on disability leave. Cindi (budget office) stated that until Patty gives official resignation she will remain president and Kati the chair elect and following through with the presidential duties. If Patty resigns then Kati will move into the chair and a new chair elect will be brought in.
Nominations/Elections Committee: The nominations process for next year’s officers will begin either the end of February or beginning of March.
Employee of the year: CSO of the year committee will be put together by Shannon Casteel. Usually it is a panel of new hires since they are not allegeable for this year.

Recognition Committee Updates: Ellen is reviewing and wants to know who wants to join? Also, need a volunteer to put together silent auction committee because Ellen does not have the time. She needs someone who can take the lead or the fundraiser will not happen.
Treasure’s Report (Teresa Cole): Copies of last fiscal and this fiscal year reports where brought and shared with everyone. We reviewed budgets and payroll deductions. It was discussed that there is an option for CSO staff to have an automatic withdraw done to their paycheck before tax to contribute to the organization. This would help generate the CSO budget for functions, get together’s and parties.
Professional Development Training:There has not been a meeting yet. There needs to be someone to go to PDT meeting and participate in brain storming new ideas for classes and instructors.
