‘Staff Orientation Workshop

The Staff Orientation Committee has organ-
ized a workshop to be held April 21, 1200 -
1400 hours, in the large lecture theatre.

At that time, staff will be given an over-
view of Douglas College as an organization,
and the duties/responsibilities of various
administrative personnel, and a College
Board member. It is expected that our
staff members will come away from the work-
shop with a better understanding of how the
college operates, who the administrators
are and what they do.

Management Committee approved and enthus-
iastically supported the holding of this
workshop. I therefore expect that all
staff members will be released to attend
the workshop. The only exceptions should
be in those service areas that must remain
open to the public during that time, and
my expectation is that as many staff mem-
bers as possible will be released in such
cases - perhaps some for the first hour,
and others for the last hour.

The college as a whole benefits whenever
our personnel become better informed, and
T hope I can count on the support of all
administrative personnel for this and
future staff workshops.
