45 mins

Sarah/Caitlin

  • Guidance for SC discussion on this topic:

    • Develop 3-5 talking points

      • suggestions from the last SILS OT SC meeting:

        • How can OT support these people? Can we discharge them? How can we advocate for them?

      • feedback from Carla and Erika? (Caitlin?)

  • Invitation to SILS OT extended to OARM members this past week - their attendance at the next SILS OT meeting is still tbd

    • group is anticipated to know their talking points and be able to make a presentation

    • need more expertise input from OT

    • date amended to 9/18/24

  • Suggestion to use a Confluence page to track project team activities

    • for each group - determine project timeline, including end date and goals

    • Project Team Tracking

      • added to SILS OT agenda for 9/4/24 - “OT Workplan” section

      • added to SILS OT Work Plan

  • OT needs more information to make a formal recommendation to LG

  • Assist project teams in crafting their bullet points for presentation to SILS OT

    • characteristics of their needs - ask OT to decide where that fits with other teams

    • suggestion to include a phased proposal - start with first year proposal, then add additional years if approved

  • Thinking prompts to propose to OT prior to the meeting

    • email ahead of time

    • include a pre-discussion for SILS OT members prior to hearing the project team presentation

  • Outcomes of the SILS OT SC discussion:

    • There are concerns from LG about burnout and capacity, and we OT should be prepared to think about how best to make a recommendation that supports the new work.

    • We want OT to understand what the asks are from these groups; what’s the impact on the system; thoughtfully consider those elements.

  • Suggestion to have 3 consecutive weeks of SILS OT: Carla/Erika present OARM the first week, Marsha and her team present EIMP presentation the second week, larger discussion/decision the third week (9/18, 9/25, 10/2)

    • add agenda item to SILS OT for next week to ask about this proposal

    • delay OARM presentation to 9/18

    • goal: have a draft recommendation for LG by the end of the meeting on 10/2

    • ask OT if they are willing to support new groups vs. folding work into existing groups

      • clarify position of SILS OT SC on this issue

        • support for expertise groups (EGs) (may not be representative of each campus as the structure is currently) - would have an official tie to the OSTs

    • Materials shared during the discussion:

 

@Caitlin Nelson to review final OARM report recommendations prior to their presentation at a SILS OT meeting (9/18/24) - provide characteristics/points/impact for OT to consider
@Caitlin Nelson to contact Carla/Erika about the new date for their OARM presentation - 9/18/24
@Caitlin Nelson to contact Marsha about an EIMP presentation on 9/25/24

Sarah

  • Question from Anna: Should we include this as an agenda item on the next SILS OT meeting?

  • Document for discussion: OT Workplan

  • Suggestions from past meetings:

    • Future API requests

      • Idea proposed at a past SILS OT SC meeting: create mini project team from SILS OT (2-3 people) whose members would share their results in next fiscal year

    • Shared Governance Task Force Ongoing, UCLAS-integrated SILS structure, work practices and charges

      • plan a lengthy discussion of representation?(advocacy/leadership/experts vs. comprehensive campus representation) at a future SILS OT meeting

      • background:

        • related to the question regarding term limits

        • other questions to guide this discussion:

          • if the work changed by having only experts on a team, how would it change?

          • how could non-expert representatives be used in other collective areas?

    • suggestions from SILS OT meeting on 8/7/24:

      • look at Alma/Primo VE Issues and Themes document

        • workstream improvement

      • have list of projects to work on when there is down time

      • strategies for sharing sessions during OT meetings
