him to once more participate in the
developmental stages of a major pro-
ject.

A review is currently taking place
regarding Mr. Graydon's position,
and the Board will be informed in
due course if I have any recommend-
ations for structural change, as
opposed to straightforward replace-
ment of his position.

E. INTERNAL — GENERAL

On September 17 I met with officials
of the United Way, together with
Mr. Bob Corbett, and Mr. Jim Doerr
who will be working on the United
Way Campaign within the College
during October.

Dr. DellaMattia has met with Mr.
John Waters, of Douglas Kwantlen
Faculty Association, regarding the
joint support of the development

of a closer relationship between
Douglas College and its alumni.
Initial representations in this re-
gard were made by Mr. Ralph Stanton
last year, as President of the DKFA,
and I am pleased that it seems in-
creasingly likely that the College
and the DKFA will be able to work
together in this regard. Other
groups are being contacted in order
to see what additional co-operation
and assistance we might expect.

He will be reporting on this matter
in due course to the Management Com-
mittee and to the Board.

I am pleased to announce that Ms.
Lillian Zimmerman has received a
grant from the Swedish Council for
a study visit to Sweden to obtain
information on Swedish programming
and legislation regarding support
of the family. This trip represents
an opportunity for the College to
gain more information on this topic,
which is an important part of our
community programming activities.

 

It also is recognition of the high

calibre of work that has been car-
ried out by the College in this
field over the past five years.

The report of the Administrative
Review Committee of the College
has been tabled internally, and

is in the process of being given
wide distribution for purposes

of discussion and decision. I ex-
pect that in October I will be in
a position to offer comment and
decision regarding the recommenda-|'
tions of the Committee. Following
review by the management personnel
of the College, I will provide a
report to the Finance, Facilities
& Personnel Committee of the
Board.

The Board will remember that I
participated in a consultation of
national experts on the subject

of Paid Educational Leave and Re-
current Education in New York and
Boston last November. The OECD
has invited me to attend as a par-
ticipant to a continuation of that
consultation in Amsterdam in
October.
