Discussion
Staff lunches with the President

• President Millner will be having lunch with 10-12 professional and classified staff twice a month.  She intends to have lunch with every employee over the next couple of years.  She has asked PSAC to develop a random list of professional staff to invite to these lunches. 
• PSAC will provide a list of all professional staff to the president’s office.  This list will be generated through statistical randomization.  The president’s office will then select 6 professional staff from the top of the list until all professional staff members have had an opportunity to eat lunch with the President. 

Medical Benefits Update

·        Drew Weidman updated PSAC on medical benefits. 

·        He showed PSAC members the plans that other Utah Higher Education institutions are using to provide a frame of reference for understanding the kinds of choices Weber will have in crafting our own plan.  It was noted that Weber’s plan may not be set up like any of the other plans.  There are many variables to an insurance plan.

·        There will be a survey delivered to all WSU employees regarding their opinion about the variables of this plan.  PSAC members will write an email to encourage professional staff to carefully fill out the survey and provide their opinion.

·        It was noted that the institution’s website for information about this topic does not provide adequate information for WSU employees.  It is recommended that that website is modified.

Upcoming meeting with Jeff Livingston, CSAC

• Drew Weidman has invited CSAC members to upcoming meeting with Jeff Livingston regarding legislative issues.
• PSAC board agreed to have a special meeting for this and not try to combine it with our monthly PSAC meeting.
• Woodie Slaughter will set up a date, time, and location for the meeting with Jeff Livingston, PSAC and CSAC board members.

Update on CSAC collaboration

• Drew has begun building bridges with CSAC.  He has invited them to the meeting with Jeff Livingston about legislative issues and to partner with PSAC to represent all staff in the Medical Benefits issue.
• PSAC hopes to be able to continue to collaborate with CSAC.

Union Building Executive Committee Representation

• Joan Davies will be asked to represent both professional and classified staff on this committee. 
• Woodie Slaughter will also participate in the Union Building Executive Committee and will keep PSAC updated on that is happening there.

Redistricting PSAC to meet new organizational structure

• Due to some reorganization in the university PSAC recommends modifying the representative districts of the committee.  Doing this will more evenly distribute representation for professional employees.
• These districts will be as follows:
