- Jerry Bunce read the TSO Mission statement
- Minutes for March TSO Council meeting were approved
- Jerry reported that he had visited Liz Hollerman to review the proposed letter to the BC Trustees. Liz told me that she has presented information about the Continuing Education including the TELOS program to the Board of Trustees twice. They are aware of TELOS. Liz suggested that the letter be sent to the new BC Provost Dr. Jess Clark. The Council decided to take the letter to the upcoming TSO General meeting so that everyone in attendance could sign the letter.
- We reviewed the letter and made some updates real time.
- The TELOS Course trends excel chart was shown. This chart is maintained by Donna Oberembt. This will be an attachment to the letter.
- The Summer quarter is down to only six classes.
- Jerry stated that the recent email from BC highlighting the Fall quarter was the best advertising he has seen. Some of the Council members had received the email while other had not. An indicator of the issues BC has in promoting TELOS.
- Jan Reported that we have ~7000 dollars remaining in our accounts
We looked at the proposed schedule of Fall quarter classes. There are new classes and new instructors.
- Steve Denison reported we already had 60 people registered for our next TSO General meeting on Saturday, August 24th. The North Bellevue Community Center is reserved from noon to 3 pm. It will be $300. He is convening the usual suspects to plan the meeting. Will Stump and Ron will play music at the event. A planning meeting will be finalized next week.
- Next meeting is July 24th at 3:30 pm on zoom.
