Here are a few reminders:

November Project Reporting - Please make sure you have all your time entered, particularly the hours that we charge to various grants and contracts including TDEC and the Administrative Office of the Courts.

December Project Reporting and 2006 CLOSE OUT - We are converting to a calendar year reporting system. Please enter all your hours for 2006 by January 10, 2007. Also, please close out all completed projects and close out all of your ongoing projects for ALL CITIES (both training and publications), IPS, and MTAS (including administration and professional development). We used to close all of these administrative projects at the end of the fiscal year and now we are going to start closing on a calendar year basis.

Professional Development - Make sure that all your professional development hours are posted into the professional development database . Also, be sure to print out the forms and send them to me so we can forward it to Human Resources for posting into its database. Our goal was 32 hours for each employee. Same deadline here - January 10.

APRs - We will complete our annual performance reviews in January and February for the second half of 2006. We are working on the forms and procedures and will distribute them as soon as they are ready. It will be critical for you to have all your project reporting information for 2006 up to date so the January 10 for project reporting works for this too.

Thanks.
