Program Wide Discussion on DEI John Towns (10 mins)
recommend a meeting in the next couple weeks - get staff input
Open to everyone on the program
Who leads? - Working Group leading? - probably in parallel - we might not have a charter by then
this would lead to creating the Standing Committee
they do have a document that outlines what a committee charter should include - Shawn will send to Shannon
Stephen will take charge since he plans to lead the working group effort
send recommendations to Stephen for representatives for each team
Suggestion - explain and discuss with team members as a thing going on but continue to do anything they were already doing to contribute to the process
Should we still use term DEI - Democratization? - Diversity and Belonging?
bring up on agenda for wider discussion

Program Wide Goals John Towns (3 min)

Needs to support Evaluation John Towns (10 mins)
Where do we need the most help when performing Evaluation across the program?
Evaluation Matrix and Adoption - getting buy in
matrix is not well known by whole group
program wide view is more difficult for leaders when they currently can provide individual team updates
Evaluation Working Group is still working on coordination
the matrix may need to be a more mature doc before next use
they are looking at surveys and other things to include as well
Need to schedule points of contact meeting for Eval WG John Towns
When looking at how NSF does evals - they do evaluate the overarching program as well as the individual teams
Look at where the teams connect and how are the metrics/KPIs shared between the teams - feeds to how the evaluation needs to be done
How does shared data contribute to metrics/KPIs for teams and team interactions
do teams know where they are getting similar feedback compared to goals?
all of the reports were not shared
in the in person meeting - all teams did share PY2 plans, and sharing data session
Put together a synthesized summary report of all evaluation input that can be shared across the center
