• In this new model we were looking for more
  effective ways to utilize our faculty specialists
• There was no consensus on the number of groups
  but the additional GPMs assigned to each of these

• There is now an implementation group chaired by
  Anders Nattestad looking at this recommendation,
  soliciting additional input from the Pacific
  community, and synthesizing ideas of their own
  with the goal of moving any eventual model change
  forward. The SWOT analysis we will be doing today
  is important to Dr. Nattestads group.
