3)    Roster Management – Nonna

·       All coaches help Nonna by making sure participants in practice are on the roster

4)    Quick review and comments about The Launch – Ted

a)    How’s it going? 

b)    Frequency?

c)     Content?

d)    Suggestions?

• Purpose is to create a pipeline of information that people can check quickly

• Suggestion – Regatta’s tab for what/where CRI is taking part in each weekend, Private Events, Make sure they don’t get too long, 

• the Launch is only posted when there is a timely event or information, or when we get more than 2 items to update staff.  It's not intended to be a daily... more "as needed"

5)    ADP notes – Ted

a)    Log time within 24 hours of your work, especially for any travel

b)    We ask supervisors to approve time 2-3 times per pay period

c)    Log all sick time and vacation time through ADP

d)    If anyone needs clarity on pay, scheduling, overtime etc. come by or email

·       Hoping people are able to log w/in 24 hours of their time

·       Trying to create greater ongoing communication between supervisors and coaches

·       Helps Tara/Ted process things earlier over 2 weeks – smooth the workflow

·       If you have coached a regatta that you don’t see, please let us know so that we can add it in for you! – Tara  

6)    Pat Larcom - BIG EVENT next Tuesday with Metronic – having their big staff meeting here next Tuesday, 48 people
