The COACHE Steering Committee continues to progress toward establishing working teams to address areas of concern from the 2024 Faculty Job Satisfaction survey.
Next are meetings with The Change Leader, the consulting firm selected to work with Grand Valley faculty and leaders to co-design an action plan for best-in-class shared governance. Representatives from The Change Leader will conduct interviews with members of the COACHE Steering Team, UAS/ECS, Provost’s Cabinet and Senior Leadership Team.
From those interviews, a set of co-designed, half-day workshops will be conducted in late March. These workshops will focus on building shared trust with an understanding that action and resolution of existing problems is a key part of that process. Dates and times will be determined by late February. Watch for invitations to participate.
The COACHE survey results and more information are available online.
