Vice President’s Notes Professional development is critical for faculty and staff alike. Whether through webinars, reading professional journals or papers, or attending conferences, we benefit personally and professionally when we learn more about our jobs and how to do them better. NIC also benefits as we bring back new ideas, best practices, and innovative solutions to problems. One aspect of professional development we have been exploring in Community Relations and Marketing is using our professional organizations’ competitions to see how we compare to others. It is a way to see how our best efforts fare against others’ best efforts. If we win, it validates our professional talents, and if we don’t, then we can look to those who do win for ways to improve our products. I’m very proud that our staff continues to win John Martin awards for their outstanding work. Earlier this year, Stacy Hudson and Heather Butler were recognized for their work at the Spokane Regional Marketing and Communication Association’s (MARCOM) annual competition. Both were also recipients of gold awards recently in the regional competition for the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations (NCMPR), a professional organization comprised of community college members. Stacy and Heather received a gold for the 2010-2011 Alumni Association newsletter and Heather received a second gold for the poster that was created for the April 2011 “The British Are Coming” NIC Wind Symphony concert. Congratulations to Stacy and Heather for their great work! -John Martin, vice president for Community Relations and Marketing Long Range Visioning and Planning Update College mission statement modified Based on in-depth feedback provided by various campus and community groups, the Long Range Visioning and Planning Committee made modifications to its original draft of the college’s mission, vision, and values statements at its Nov. 10 meeting. The committee, which is comprised of 28 individuals, carefully reviewed the recently conducted research, feedback from open forums, comments from the online community group discussion, and input from various group meetings, and drafted several changes to its original statements. The committee’s modifications are reflected in the following statements: Mission statement: North Idaho College meets the diverse educational needs of students, employers, and the northern Idaho communities we serve. We do this through student success, educational excellence, community engagement, and lifelong learning. Vision statement: As a comprehensive community college, North Idaho College strives to provide accessible, affordable, quality learning opportunities and is the first choice of students. We are innovative, flexible leaders and are recognized as a center of education, cultural, economic, and civic activities by the communities we serve. The committee also spent time reviewing a list of core values that came about from the discussions regarding the mission and value statements. A total of five value statements are being considered and include Student Success, Excellence, Community Engagement, Stewardship, and Diversity. Feedback can still be provided by submitting comments to the online feedback form on the Long Range Visioning and Planning website and through the community group discussion room that’s been created in MyNIC Courses. The committee’s next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 8. Reminders Some online services to be unavailable through Nov. 13 There are several system upgrades planned through Nov. 13.

Black, assistant registrar, spins her own wool, knits, and crotchets. Brown, administrative assistant in the Admissions Office, knits, crochets, and is a grand champion cross stitcher in North Idaho. Both women won several blue ribbons at regional fairs this summer. “Just call me Cinderella,” joked Black, who only recently started spinning her own wool using a big spinning wheel like the iconic Disney character. While she learned knitting from her mom and crocheting from her grandmother, Black said, with spinning wool “Basically, you just have to figure it out yourself. You just have to sit down and try.” Black is a newcomer to the fair circuit and still won blue ribbons for her knitted shawl and hand-spun yarn at the Spokane County Interstate Fair. The awards are nice, she said, but it’s the serenity she finds in the act that keeps her going. “It’s very meditative,” Black said. “You just get into this rhythm.” Brown has been cross stitching since she was taught by her mom when she was 12 years old. The oldest of two brothers and four sisters, Brown said, her mom probably taught them all out of necessity. “She had to find us all something to do,” Brown said. Brown has been submitting different items to fairs for years now and won a blue ribbon in landscape photography at the North Idaho Fair this year along with her grand champion cross stitch. “In this age with all our technology, for me, this is something more meaningful,” Brown said. Kudos Congratulations to the women’s volleyball team, which finished the regional tournament as the Region 18 runner up and earned a trip to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) national championship in West Plains, Mo., Nov. 17-19. Kudos to All-Region 18 and All-Tournament honorees Yang Yang and Janele Vogt, as well as Sierra Pancho and Mariah Smith who received All-Region honors. First-year NIC head coach Kandice Kelly received Scenic West Athletic Conference (SWAC) Coach of the Year honors. NIC is seeded seventh in the national tournament and will face No. 10-seed Central Florida State College in the first round. The match will be video streamed live at 9 a.m. (Pacific time) Thursday, Nov. 17 at www.ihigh.com/njcaatv/ and www. psblive.com. Campus News Vehicle thefts reported Campus Security has received two reports of thefts from vehicles that have been parked in campus lots this past week. These have not been crimes of opportunity where the vehicle is unlocked and valuables were left in plain sight. The vehicles were locked and, for the most part, the stolen items were not clearly visible. Both of these incidents occurred during the day, and the thief may have acted like an individual who was locked out of “his/her” car. Everyone is encouraged to not leave high-value items in their vehicle unattended and to call Campus Security at Ext. 3310 if anything appears suspicious. Warren Miller film ‘Like There’s No Tomorrow’ to be shown The latest winter sports film from Warren Miller Entertainment “Like There’s No Tomorrow” will be shown at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20 in Boswell Hall Schuler Performing Arts Center.

The exhibit includes acrylic painted wall constructions, high-relief painted surfaces, bas-relief painted surfaces, and various mediums for sculptures. “The free-standing work reflects my interest in the cultural dynamics of this country based on observation and the news,” Craig said. “The vehicle for expression is carved forms and the use of ‘found’ objects (cultural artifacts and natural objects assembled together).” Rather than an opening reception, special events are scheduled at the closing of this exhibit. The gallery walk will be at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 2 with the presentation for the exhibit at 1 p.m. in Molstead Library Todd Hall and the closing reception Craig's work "Harvest Moon." from 5 to 7 p.m. the same day in the Corner Gallery.

Benefits Corner Information about NIC’s FSA/HRA debit card Some questions have arisen the last few months regarding the need to provide documentation for services paid for using the Peak1 Administration Flexible Spending Account (FSA)/Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) debit card. The main reason employees see more requests for receipts is the changes to the Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS), which is maintained by SiGIS (www.sig-is.org), requirements that became effective January 2011. Some providers chose not to pay to be on the IIAS list, which in turn requires a receipt be submitted by the participant. Provider participation is optional. Providers on the IIAS list such as Walgreen’s do not require a receipt. But if a card is used at a non-IIAS provider, no information is transmitted as to what the card was used for. The only information Peak 1 Administration would receive is provider name, date of service, and amount swiped. Unfortunately, under IRS regulations, more information is needed to substantiate the purchase. The website mentioned above provides a list of participating merchants. Questions regarding this notice should be directed to Peak 1 Administration’s Member Care Department at (866) 315-1777.
