VPP Steering Committee Meeting
Monday, April 13, 2000
ISB-2 Wanapum Room

The meeting commenced at 2:00 p.m.

Introductions

Vern Madson re-introduced Paul Kruger, from DOE, and SK Sundaram, a new steering committee member.

Presentation

Lee Prince, Marketing and Communications, gave a presentation on behavior at trade shows. This is in preparation for our steering committee members to work the Health and Safety Expo.

Health and Safety Expo

John Reck reported that

• all slots for booths have been taken
• the funding for schools to bring their students has been cut, so attendance should be down
• hand-outs have been ordered and are on the way
• we will be borrowing a wheel from someone to use at our booth.

John and his committee will also be working on a scheme for nametags for the booth workers.

In addition, Russ Meicenheimer is working on a 3-ft x 5-ft poster to show what PNNL does.

VPP Pamphletd

We need to make one final tweak to the brochure and it will be ready to go. Roby Enge will be checking with Dr. Powell to see if we can substitute her name in the brochure for Adrian Roberts.

Safety and Recognition Awards

The VPP mugs are ready and in transit. Vern has secured a room at the Annex to store them.

Computer-Based Tracking

The committee will need to work on the electronic survey to get it ready to send to all staff. The committee intends to send the all-staff memo regarding the survey out in mid-May.

Region X

We have nine committee members going to Seattle for the Region X conference. Packets will be given out to those individuals who will be going.

Meeting adjourned about 3:30 p.m.
