EXPECTED OUTCOMES OF MEETING: cohesive work environment by: then will list the other parts of the charge. Line b : Decided to leave as Making recommendations for wellness initiatives. Leaving as a general statement until the future of the Wellness program/committee is determined to know who the Employee Support Committee will make the recommendations to. Line c : Changed to Promoting the engagement of Faculty and Staff in College related events. Line d : Changed making suggestions to making recommendations. Line e : No changes. Deborah Allen recommended creating a database of resources for employees to refer to since the committee is in fact the Employee Support Committee.
