In addition, Chancellor Wendler as requested two names for a committee he is forming "to review and update current criteria for the Excellence Through Commitment awards."

Gibson indicated that they are also of the opinion that, because of the diversity of who the Council serves and what it does, the entire A/P Staff Council should receive personal invitations.
