Issue of sustainability is critical for whatever the communications committee takes on this year as capacity is limited in the secretaries office

Action Items from discussion:

Mark – will review inside UW Wisconsin weekly to identify what articles are out there about academic staff. He will send them to the team to view and determine what we may want to send to Donna to tag and put up on the AS site. ( We will want to streamline this a bit more and can discuss at our October mtg).

Team – Find what other communication sources are out there that we may want to review for articles on academic staff as well

Alice will talk to Donna – about her capacity to load articles on the web and for an analytical counter for the number of times the articles are viewed
