Finalize strategic plan |
Strategic plan (pg 3). Goal
and Steps: Explore association with a non-STTI Milwaukee School
of nursing “at large” chapter affiliation.
Dialogue revolved around the possibility of exploring the association
with a non-STTI Milwaukee School of nursing “at large” chapter.
Discussion generated questions among board members about logistics,
mentorship opportunities, criteria for membership, student perspectives/unity,
mission of STTI, induction of new members, and which schools of
nursing would become part of the “at large” chapter. Alverno
School of Nursing was specifically discussed because of their
similar mission. Issues raised included faculty workload,
more efficient ways to bring faculty and students together, amount
of developmental work involved, and potential lack of resources
due to low membership numbers.
Barb H-H asked for support from the members to advance the conversation
of an “at large” chapter. All board members present
were in support of moving forward and continue conversations about
an “at large” chapter.
Barb H-H assigned the governance committee to explore possibility
in more detail.
Maureen O’Reily volunteered to contact information from
Erin Hurst.
There was also a recommendation for Patty Varga, faculty at
Alverno, to be the liaison for Alverno.
Sara Morgan was also mentioned. Part of her strategic plan is
for chapters to affiliate with each other.
A one year timeline will be set for completion of this goal.
Governance committee to provide a preliminary report at the October
meeting.
Barb H-H and Diane Dressler will co-chair the governance committee.
Strategic Plan (pg. 3) Goal & Steps: Apply for the chapter
Key award:
Barb H-H downloaded new criteria; it appears the criteria and
process is somewhat different. For one, submission/forms are all
electronically submitted. Maureen Greene and will find out what
we need to do to meet all the criteria.
President’s Call to Action 2009-2011: 4 areas of focus
for Biennium
- Creating welcoming environments: responsible parties include
the faculty counselor working with dean and MU faculty. Suggestions
included “branding ourselves”, showcase STTI nurses
working in a variety of nursing roles, collaborating with MUSNA
to increase visibility and introduce students to STTI/Delta
Gamma including DE and grad students, and increasing discussions
at faulty meetings. Responsible parties remain the same.
A minor language change to one of the goals/steps was made based
on recommendations from the board. The following goal “Support
mentoring of new student to expose them to a variety of roles
in nursing beyond the acute care experience” was
revised to read: “Support mentoring of new student
to expose them to a variety of roles in the profession of nursing.” All
agreed with the change.
- Enhancing knowledge resources and networks: Responsible
parties will continue to work on indicated goals/steps for this
area of focus. The goal to “contribute door prizes
for SE Wisconsin Research in the amount of $XXX” was tabled
for next meeting. Terrie Garcia and Diane Dressler will
meet to coordinate schedules and decide which STTI Leadership
Academy meeting they will be attending and report back at next
meeting. All other responsible parties will continue with goals/steps
as indicated in strategic plan 2010-2012 draft.
- Creating Legacy of Personal Leadership. Goal/step for
supporting MUNHC literacy program will continue. Program
was very successful the previous year. Barb H-H will continue
as responsible party with help from Kathleen Lendosky, Diane
Dressler, and Terrie Garcia
- Contributing to Global Health: Board discussed numerous opportunities
to reach out globally as well as starting closer to home. Some
ideas included contacting Dr. Madeline Wake to discuss possible
collaboration with her Haiti project and collaborating with
Dr. Carolyn Labb on healthcare for the homeless. Maureen O’Reilly
volunteered to work on a commitment plan.
