North Seattle College completed a series of employee caucuses (faculty, WFSE, admin services, leadership team, and pro-staff) over December and January. The next step in the process is to convene a body to review all the caucus results and produce an analysis for the entire college. This taskforce will use Sensemaking as it’s organizing framework. Sensemaking is a qualitative process to make meaning around ambiguous, contextual, and equivocal events. 

As the college’s primary shared governance body, it falls to College Council to convene the Taskforce, supervise the process, and review findings. Findings will inform measure selection for district strategic plan goals 3 & 4 at North, as well as requests to change the employee survey (came up at every caucus).
