Invite key personnel in charge of the college's various planning processes (master planning, program review, etc.) to provide a presentation on how their process works, the content of the end-product of their efforts, how we may incorporate their process into our decision making, and if they would be willing to accept feedback from our committee on how their process could be augmented/modified to further assist us.
