Tuesday Morning Notes

February 10, 2004


The CALS-Millenium Oversight Committee subgroup, "Fair Community," has put together a Workload Assessment Survey for faculty. The survey's purpose is to find out your perception of how your time is spent on specific assignments. The information will be used to analyze workload assignments to ensure a fair community within CALS. The survey is anonymous and confidential. This can be found at http://ag.arizona.edu/calsmoc/survey/

The following is an "extended thanks" based on last week's message. I didn' t want to overlook anyone. Thanks to all who attended last week's Southwest Indian Agriculture Association meetings in Laughlin, NV. Over 250 people from 16 states attended. Bob Roth and Phil Hartmann (MAC) were honored by SWIAA for their long-term support of Indian Country agriculture. CALS speakers included Dave Cox, Linda Masters, Liz Didier, Matt Livingston, Jeannie Benally, Gerald Moore, Sabrina Tuttle, Peder Cuneo, Russ Tronsted, Trent Teegerstrom, Jenny Jones and Joe Hiller. Dean Sander presented long-time CARET member Mr. Elliott Booth with a nice plaque at the banquet and later met with the SWIAA board. Also in attendance were JimChristenson, Stan Farlin, Anthony Chavez, Dana Flowers, Joseph Brewer, Dotty Spears, and Erin Taylor.

Sharon Megdal and Gabriel Colbaugh put together an Arizona water map that will be helpful for those that are interested. Please see the following website: http://cals.arizona.edu/extension/employee/watermap.ver1.pdf
