Greetings,

Thank you so much for your engagement at the last Guided Pathways Advisory Committee meeting.  I have attached the agenda and slides from the meeting, the materials are in the process of being posted to the GPAC<https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/programs-services/student-success-center/guided-pathways-advisory-council> Website.

We had great discussion regarding the development of a Guided Pathways Implementation Playbook.  You can review the notes from the conversation and contribute comments here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OliUC7HtW0arvrhjvQlJZMJgRpm5lMH6dpe55v7VlVU/edit?usp=sharing>. The playbook will support us in telling the story of Guided Pathways accomplishments to the legislature. Complete this brief survey<https://forms.gle/nCJ3HpXczDBnjjtv9> at your earliest convenience to share feedback on system workplans which will help inform what is included and ensure the product of our work is representative of system need and make the necessary impact. You are encouraged to share this survey with the commissions and councils you represent as well.

To continue our momentum, I am inviting GPAC members to continue the conversation at a supplemental GPAC work session on Friday, February            21st, sometime between 9:00 and 12:00.
