Staff Forum Called Meeting
July 19, 2006 * 3:00 PM
Ms. Olga Contreras-Martinez, Chair, called the meeting to order at 3:00. Ms. Bam Pirkle gave the invocation.
Attendees were asked to introduce themselves and share what office they work in for the benefit of other staff members, and to give guest speaker Dr. David Bridges some faces to put with names.
Ms.
Contreras-Martinez then introduced the guest speaker: Dr. David Bridges, 10th
President of ABAC.
Dr. Bridges talked
about values that all of us should share like honesty, hard work, diversity,
loyalty and that greatness is expected from all. He told us that we should
share a sense of pride to work at ABAC and that everyone here plays a different
and important role to the institution. He wants us to keep all cracks to the
minimum and to sway from being a wedge that makes an even bigger crack. He
understands and values that staff should be involved in the decision making, be
appreciated and be informed of what is going on in the college. For that
reason, he is sending out weekly updates. He empowered us to support each other
and participate, especially in Staff Forum. He reminded us of what our day job
is but most importantly to keep in mind what is best for ABAC. Finally, he told
us that we all have a great choice to make toward everything we do in life and
that is our attitude.
