  1. WMA Training Needs Survey

    1. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HLRJV7C

AI -- some minor edits -- Ralph, Joe will followup next week; Joe will update memo, and ask Jerad to send out (by the 28th).
  1. WMA Technical Instructor List

    1. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dTVh-5QBWTAssF6UJf42jU-TBxsfPYfskM40OVLJnBM

    2. OED to develop WMA Technical Instructor email alias

AI -- if you have anyone to add, by end of September; Melinda needs to update; Alan will create an email alias; send out email for succession (Joe needs to modify that so any succession planning goes through course coordinator).
  1. WMA Instructor Communications

    1. Scheduling of rooms at NTC

    2. WMA Training Facilities https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vta2xwhEZukJVKMU9TVrr5kiAol9UOzuBkEkj24WNUg/edit

  2. WMA Course Instructor of the Year

    1. Short Course

    2. Long Course

AI -- Rod will put a pull down list on the ‘long form’ and forward to Joe
    1. Memo draft:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XauPY8ZWuYTpXG7HWkpfUL5kubzPcmVlo44inF0tvpk/edit

AI -- Joe will work on draft memo over the next couple of weeks.
AI -- Joe will do everything else that the committee needs.
  1. OED DL RFP

    1. WMA Representative

    2. Update from OED

AI -- everyone forward Jerad’s email to potential instructors.
  1. IT Specialist vacancy

    1. Email chain with Terri Moore - OWI - Terri says she will look for candidates also

    2. What viewpoint does the STED want?  Historically it has been a WSC level vs a Headquarters.  Be nice to keep that going.  Someone who understands the limits of IT and infrastructure (networks, apps, whatever) from the Center level, how it applies to training and day to day operations in the field

AI -- Ferrell will check with Rick Jenkins
  1. Water re-org -- Don Cline’s plans include a “Chief Learning Officer”.  See how it shakes out.  Don liked a lot of STED’s plans and use of tools to advance training, so we can get visibility at high levels.
