Dr. Payne stated thadt the Coordinating Committee develops programs and determines goals for the Hub. Replacements are needed for Mrs. Bracey who retired, Mrs. Wactor who resigned, and Mr. Tobul, Mr. Hanberry, and Mr. Hope who as industry representatives have been unable to attend meetings. At this meeting Dr. Doris Helms talked about the NSF review to be held on October 2-3 in Columbia. NSF will be looking at what we have done thus far and giving consideration to continued funding for South Carolina in years 6-10. Mr. Holloway spoke of the need for word to get out to schools regarding the work of the hubs.
Staff development is very important.
Hubs are up for another round of funding and they will be competing with other states. Mr. Holloway told the members of the Board to call Dr. Payne if they will consider volunteering for this subcommittee. There was a discussion of the 1997-1998 budget. The Hub came out slightly better for Year Five but could not carry over any funds so they were spent in Year Four. A copy of the changes is included with the meeting notes.
