ARE ANY OF THE TRUSTEES THAT
WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ANY
ANNOUNCEMENTS, ANY COMMENTS?
I'M GOING TO TURN TO TRUSTEE
EVERSMANN TO MAKE SOME
COMMENTS.
>> EVERSMANN: I JUST LOVED
WHAT WAS SAID EARLIER ABOUT
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND HOW
ENERGIZING IT WAS AND I REALLY
APPRECIATED CHAIR MCRAVEN
SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE
BOARD AND I THOUGHT YOU DID
VERY WELL AND REPRESENTED US
FULLY.
>> CHAIR: THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING
THAT.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS?
OKAY, SEVERAL OF US WILL BE
GOING TO THE AACC MEETING IN
SAN DIEGO AND SO WE'LL BE
THERE FROM OCTOBER 13TH --
12TH, 13TH THROUGH THE 16TH
AND WE'LL COME BACK AND REPORT
BACK TO THE BOARD ON THAT
MEETING.
>> WAS THAT AACC OR AACT?
>> CHAIR: AACT -- I KEEP
DOING THAT AND I APOLOGIZE.
THANK YOU FOR THAT, BARBARA.
I DID THAT AGAIN TODAY EARLIER
TODAY.
ACCT, YES, THANK YOU.
THAT IS THE AMERICAN -- THE
ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY
COLLEGE TRUSTEES.
SO WE WILL BE THERE AND
CHANCELLOR RHODES WILL BE
THERE.
DR. MALCOLM WILL BE THERE AND
SOME OTHER STAFF MEMBERS WILL
BE THERE, TOO.
OKAY, ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY
OTHER COMMENTS?
I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU
TO DR. MALCOLM AND ESTHER FOR
THE NEW FORMAT, WHICH
HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE RECEIVED
AND YOU WILL RECEIVE EVERY
FRIDAY SO IT WILL BE A SUMMARY
OF WHAT'S COMING UP IN THE
NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.
AND THEN WE'LL ASK FOR YOU TO
RSVP AND YOU'LL GET A LITTLE
INFORMATION ABOUT EACH OF THE
EVENTS AND HOW MANY SEATS WE
HAVE AND HOW MANY SEATS ARE
AVAILABLE.
PLUS YOU'LL GET A RUNNING
CALENDAR OF EVENTS COMING UP
ALSO.
SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP US
A LITTLE BIT, ESPECIALLY FOR
TRUSTEE WALKER AND MAYBE SOME
OF THE OTHER TRUSTEES, EVEN
MYSELF, ON WHAT SOME OF THESE
EVENTS ARE THAT WE GET INVITED
TO.
SO ANYWAY, ANY FEEDBACK YOU
WOULD LIKE TO GIVE US, PLEASE
DO, BUT I THINK WE'RE GETTING
THERE.
SO THANK YOU AGAIN TO BOTH OF
YOU FOR THAT.
ANYTHING ELSE?
WELL, THE ONLY OTHER THING I
WANTED TO REPORT ON, AND I
THINK MOST OF YOU KNOW THIS IS
THAT BILL STOTESBERRY, HIS
LAST DAY WAS ACTUALLY HIS
BIRTHDAY, WHICH WAS
SEPTEMBER 30TH.
DR. RHODES, DR. MALCOLM AND
MYSELF DID ATTEND THAT EVENT.
WE ALSO -- DR. RHODES AND I
ATTENDED AN EVENT ON -- GOSH,
SEPTEMBER 23RD FOR BILL AT THE
HEADLINER'S CLUB, AND IT WAS A
GREAT EVENT.
HE HAS BEEN PRESIDENT FOR KLRU
FOR 17 YEARS.
THE INTERIM PRESIDENT IS
LAURIE BOLING AND I AM ON THE
SELECTION COMMITTEE AND I
THINK A NUMBER OF -- I THINK
JERRY IS ON PART OF THE
SELECTION COMMITTEE, THE
EXTERNAL SELECTION COMMITTEE,
AND I'M ON THE BOARD SELECTION
COMMITTEE.
SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE A NEW
PRESIDENT OF KLRU IN THE NEXT
SIX MONTHS OR SO.
BUT WHAT I WANTED TO SAY TO
ALL OF YOU IS, AGAIN, THERE
WERE ACCOLADES AFTER ACCOLADES
TO ACC AND THE CHANCELLOR AND
HIS ADMINISTRATION --
ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM IN TERMS
OF REALLY WORKING THROUGH SOME
DIFFICULT SITUATIONS GIVEN THE
FREEZE AND THEY ARE VERY
EXCITED -- THE STAFF, THE
TEAM, THE BOARD -- ARE VERY
EXCITED ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP.
IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO
GO OVER AND SEE THE NEW
BUILDING AND THE BOARD ROOM,
WE SHOULD ARRANGE FOR TO YOU
DO SO PROBABLY IN NOVEMBER.
I'M SEEING DR. MALCOLM'S EYES.
I COULD SEE HER EYES.
YOU CAN'T SEE THEM.
>> MALCOLM: [INAUDIBLE].
>> CHAIR: BUT WE'LL RANGE FOR
A MEETING OVER THERE OR A TOUR
OVER THERE.
SO I THINK YOU'LL BE VERY
PLEASED WITH THE NEW BUILDING
AND THIS PARTNERSHIP THAT WE
ARE GOING TO HAVE THAT'S GOING
TO BE JUST A GREAT PARTNERSHIP
FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
OKAY, WITH THAT I WILL NOW
ADJOURN, UNLESS THERE IS
ANYBODY ELSE?
NO.
I'LL ADJOURN THE AUSTIN
COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT
BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON MONDAY,
OCTOBER 4TH AT 5:46 P.M.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AND HAVE
A GOOD EVENING.
HAVE A GOOD EVENING.
ALL RIGHT, BYE-BYE.
