Staff Council/SLG November 19 Meeting Summary
Staff Council met with President Ian Baucom, EVP for Finance David Provost, and VP for Human Resources Caitlin Goss for our monthly meeting. We discussed Staff Council’s role in advocating for the entire staff at Middlebury; the desire for more institutional communication with staff beyond Leadership Alliance “waterfall” communications/tearsheets; the future of staff surveys; and the impact on the budget of the VSRIP and rehiring for positions. Please reach out to your district rep for more details about these conversations and help us plan our agenda for future meetings with SLG.
