Agenda

1. Call to Order
   • CAP encourages everyone to make personal decisions and take individual actions that maximize the safety of themselves and our community, wearing a face covering, including getting vaccinated and boosted, and staying home if you aren’t feeling well.  However, one of the great pleasures of serving on the Council of Academic Professionals is participating in the vibrant community and dialogue. Moving forward, it might be valuable to re-establish the on-campus monthly CAP meeting.  The current plan is to meet as a hybrid group until June 2023 and reevaluate at that point.
2. Guest Speaker: None
3. Public Comment
4. Review and Approval of Minutes
   • December 2022
5. Chair’s Remarks
   • Hybrid going forward.
   • CAP Statement to Elections and Credentials
   • CAP Statement to Committee on Committees – balanced membership
   • Chancellor’s Staff Excellence Award (CSEA) –The CSEA Program combines the Chancellor’s Academic Professional Excellence (CAPE) award and the Chancellor’s Distinguished Staff Award (CDSA) into a unified Chancellor’s staff award program. This approach allows our campus to adopt a single program with one set of rules and protocols to recognize and reward exemplary staff service, establishing university-wide visibility.
