V - Administrative

Amelia, Mary and Annie are working on improvements to the program evaluation form. They will make suggestions to the full PC at the June 28th meeting if time allows, or as soon as possible thereafter. Improvements focus largely on eliminating questions that focus on issues some of the evaluators cannot properly assess - like the state of the log  sheet and the promptness of the programmers.

Minutes site (www.kpfapc.motime.com) will add the names of all the program council members and will provide an e-mail address to contact all the members.

Discussed the possibility of continuing communication stategies training as begun in the PC retreat on April 9th. There are some issues to be resolved with timing and expenses so the option remains open pending further discussion with the trainer.
