MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
President's Senior Executive Team (PSET)
During our All-Campus Meetings on reorganization, I mentioned that the PLT
(President’s Leadership Team) would be reconfigured and renamed in July of
this year. After much discussion and careful thought, the vice presidents
and I have decided to rename the PLT, the President's Senior Executive Team
(PSET).
PSET is comprised of the VP for Academic Affairs, the VP for Administrative
Services*, the VP for Human Resources and College Relations**, the VP for
Student Success*, the Director of the Foundation* and the Executive
Assistant to the President. The PSET will meet weekly on Mondays to discuss
issues affecting the College. Once a month, the group will be expanded to
include the four Special Assistants to the President—Budget and Internal
Control; Diversity, Equity and Student Leadership; Institutional
Effectiveness and Strategic Planning; and Public Information and Stakeholder
Relations. Members of the campus community will also be asked to attend
PSET meetings on a regular basis to present information.
*Contracts for Ritva Manchester, Andrea Rye, Stuart Trippel and Bernice
Vonnegut have been rolled over for this year (2007 – 2008). Beginning in the
fall, it is my hope to form screening committees for the VP for
Administrative Services, the VP for Student Success and the Director of the
Foundation positions. **The search for a VP for Human Resources and College
Relations is planned for the following fall (2008).

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
President's Senior Executive Team (PSET)
During our All-Campus Meetings on reorganization, I mentioned that the PLT
(President’s Leadership Team) would be reconfigured and renamed in July of
this year. After much discussion and careful thought, the vice presidents
and I have decided to rename the PLT, the President's Senior Executive Team
(PSET).
PSET is comprised of the VP for Academic Affairs, the VP for Administrative
Services*, the VP for Human Resources and College Relations**, the VP for
Student Success*, the Director of the Foundation* and the Executive
Assistant to the President. The PSET will meet weekly on Mondays to discuss
issues affecting the College. Once a month, the group will be expanded to
include the four Special Assistants to the President—Budget and Internal
Control; Diversity, Equity and Student Leadership; Institutional
Effectiveness and Strategic Planning; and Public Information and Stakeholder
Relations. Members of the campus community will also be asked to attend
PSET meetings on a regular basis to present information.
*Contracts for Ritva Manchester, Andrea Rye, Stuart Trippel and Bernice
Vonnegut have been rolled over for this year (2007 – 2008). Beginning in the
fall, it is my hope to form screening committees for the VP for
Administrative Services, the VP for Student Success and the Director of the
Foundation positions. **The search for a VP for Human Resources and College
Relations is planned for the following fall (2008).

COPY CHANGES UPDATE--MORE INFORMATION
As announced last week, effective July 23rd copy orders
will be picked up with the campus mail, usually between 12:30-2:30pm. Mark Durfee will have access to the orders the same afternoon and begin the copy
process. Completed copy jobs will then be delivered the next day; small
orders in the campus mail delivery in the afternoon and large jobs will be
delivered by Jeff as part of his campus delivery of UPS, FedEx, ect., which
occurs through out the day. As in the past if there is a rush job that must
be done immediately you are free to walk it down to the copy center and
discuss it with Mark. As the new system evolves, we expect that we will need
to make adjustments based on campus needs. Please feel free to contact Mary
Kelemen at #4733 or
mkelemen@shoreline.edu with suggestions and concerns.

levels. The forum, known as a web dialogue, is open to anyone wanting to

A MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
REGARDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2007/08 BUDGET
At its June 27 meeting, the Board of Trustees adopted Resolution 98,
which stated, in part, "that the President is authorized and directed to
implement and carry out the activities of the College at substantially the
same budget and expenditure levels pursuant to the budget approved in . . .
2006, and is directed to inform the Board of material variances from the
Budget during an interim period commencing on July 1, 2007, and ending upon
formal Board approval of the new budget for fiscal year 2007/08."
This "continuing resolution" was adopted because the college has not yet
obtained sufficient information from the State Board for Community and
Technical Colleges with which to develop a permanent fiscal year 2007/08
budget. Therefore, through the summer, the previous fiscal year's budget is
"continuing." During this period, the college will be conservative in its
spending, while still meeting student needs.
Additional general information about signing authority will be provided
later this week. Until that time, the signing authority that was in place
prior to the end of fiscal year 2006/07 on June 30, 2007, will remain. For
details, consult the April 2, 2007, memorandum from Stuart Trippel, Acting
Vice President for Administrative Services.
Also, departmental credit cards will not be turned on until a new credit
card authority has been reviewed by the President's Senior Executive Team,
which is likely to occur within the next two weeks. Until that time,
departments with immediate needs may check out purchasing cards from Mike
Lanigan in Building 1200. In order to check out a purchasing card, a
purchase requisition form should be completed and signed according to the
instructions in the April 2 memorandum.
If you have any questions, please telephone Sharon Wines in the Office of
the Vice President for Administrative Services on extension 7859, or send
e-mail to sawines@shoreline.edu. Thank you for your cooperation.
MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT
As of July
1, our new reorganization model will be in place. These organizational
changes have been recommended and approved by the President’s Leadership
Team as a means to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our College
operations. The organizational chart is still a "work-in-progress" and
will be available in the next week or so.
Although changes to reporting relationships specific to job responsibilities
will take place, we will monitor the impact these changes have on our
students. We will continue to discuss key issues and do what we can to
minimize any adverse effects. If you have questions regarding “who’s
doing what,” please take time to review the organization chart and check
with your supervisor if you have questions. Thank you for your patience and
understanding.

WHAT A GREAT VISIT WITH THE GOVERNOR
 The College was visited by Governor Chris Gregoire on Thursday, July
5th. President Lambert, members of the BOT, faculty and staff welcomed
the Governor to her first visit to our campus. She was thoroughly
impressed by the construction of the Zero Energy House and her quick tour of
the Automotive Center. President Lambert introduced the Governor,
thanking her and the WA State legislature for their sound investments in
higher ed and adding highlights of programs at the College.
Thanks to all of you who were able to come
down to meet Governor Gregoire and listen to her inspirational comments.
The Governor commented on her vision for a Sustainable Washington and the
importance of colleges and universities in bringing that vision to a
reality. She entertained the crowd with stories from her trade mission
trips and her hopes for education. All in all, it was a great visit.
Photos are being gathered and will be posted next week to DAAG.
PHOTOS
Photos taken during the Governor's visit can be viewed on our electronic
proofsheets. If you see a photo you like, contact PIO to obtain a copy
of the photo. Be sure to note the name/number of the photos.
