WEB PAGE
Responding to an action item from 8/16/99, Rick Sheets established a PVCC MAT web page with links to the Distict's MAT web page.  Current web address is:  http://www.pvc.maricopa.edu/mat/

The PVCC MAT web site has a draft statement of purpose.  Ken Hart agreed to send out a personal notification to members asking for review & comment and an announcement of discussion and intent to vote on the draft at the next MAT meeting.

CODE OF ETHICS
David Gerkin provided a brief from the Ethics Subcommittee (Judi Anderson, Larry Fields, and David Gerkin).  Larry Fields passed out a sheet titled "Student/Administrative Service Managers "Successful Teamwork Elements." The Ethics Subcommittee agreed to continue development of a PVCC MAT Code of Ethics.  Jo Ann Caufield agreed to fill the group slot created by the departure of Raul Monreal.

DUES
The subject of dues was discussed.  District MAT is looking for money from dues to continue to use towards funding of MAT conferences.  District MAT dues is $15 per person.  In the past PVCC MAT has asked for an additional $10 per person to fund PVCC MAT functions.  It was discussed that PVCC MAT members did not want to pay an additional $10 without knowing what the money was spent on.  It was agreed that PVCC MAT dues would be used to provide member support or member recognition on an as needed basis. An example cited was using MAT funds to convey group thoughts and support to a hospitalized or convalescing member.  Bob Duke was assigned the task of contacting MAT members regarding dues.

MENTORING PROGRAM
The MAT mentoring program was discussed and a subcommittee was formed.  The purpose identified is to design a program similar to the support given to new faculty members during their first year.  The subcommitte was assigned the task of identifying job functions that new MAT employees may need assistance with.  Once job functions were identified, then MAT members with areas of
expertise could be identified to provide assistance or training to new MAT employees needing it.  MAT Mentoring Subcommittee members volunteering wereBob Duke, Jesse Hernandez, Sandy McDill, and Nancy Markowski.

MEETING DATE
The next MAT meeting was set for 2-3pm on October 11. 
Please address any additions or corrections to me.
