15 mins | Discussion: Reviewing the Challenges of Last Term and thinking about workplans for the next term Topics: How can Council Leadership support sub-team work? How can we support/improve continuity on subteams? Are there ways to make our meetings more engaging? Interest in a UAC/TAC Advisory Council Social?
| Suzanne Reller | 2022-2023 UAC Retrospective Suzanne is planning to put together a UAC-wide workplan in addition to the plans created by sub-teams. One focal area will be continuity of information exchange and documentation through times of transition. Comments: Shout-out to involvement of UAC leadership on the Member Engagement sub-team to continue work following member resignations. UAC leadership can attend sub-team meetings if requested. Regarding documentation to ensure continuity: Rebecca is planning to create a checklist for incoming chairs of the User Docs sub-team. Other pages were shared in chat that will be useful towards this goal. Regarding collaboration and communication between sub-teams: Last term, several teams were working on updates to the Digital Objects module, mostly in isolation. Would be a good idea to explore how to promote information exchange for sub-teams working together on similar projects. Last year, it was helpful to have a collaboration goal between sub-teams.
Suzanne will send out a poll for a UAC/TAC social event to be held later in the term. |
