Reminder: Staff Advisory Councils are Available to Serve You

As a reminder to all agency staff, Heartland has two advisory councils for staff members – the Staff Advisory Council and Support Staff Advisory Council. Please remember that you may submit your celebrations, good news, issues or any questions you may have on any agency topic to any one of the staff members listed below. Advisory councils meet monthly and staff input and feedback is a standing agenda item at every meeting.

All agendas and minutes are posted each month and are accessible to all staff on the Agency’s file server. To access the server, click on “Go” at the menu on the top of your computer screen, scroll down and click on “Connect to Server,” choose: afp://aeaserver.aea11.k12.ia.us/, click “Connect” and then log-in using your server password. Choose the “Work Groups” server. Meeting documents can be located by clicking on the “Meeting Notes” folder and scrolling down to locate the desired meeting folders.
