Collection Anywhere Center Minutes - March 21, 2017

Feedback on what should go in the Center

  1. Sarah asked the committee what they thought was the best way to get feedback from staff concerning what should go in the Center.  She suggested we conduct a survey to ensure we get the information we need.   The committee suggested having examples of what we are looking for and provide a link to last month’s minutes with the list of the committee’s brainstorming ideas.  Include areas for staff to provide other ideas.
