A brief description of how the employee educators are selected (1st program):
The Sustainability Committee Chair is to be chosen by the President of the University. The Chair nominates committee members with a goal of representing and reaching all academic and operational units. Educating and mobilizing peers around sustainability topics is a stated responsibility of Sustainability Committee members.
A brief description of the formal training that the employee educators receive (1st program):
The Sustainability Committee members have an estimated service commitment of 30 hours, which includes attending six annual meetings and their out-of-meeting support activities.
Among other business, the spring semester meetings establish areas of focus for the following academic year. The fall meetings include modeled peer-to-peer outreach and education.
An all-employee Lean Fair takes place for a full day in January. It consists of display booths and break-out sessions. Sustainability Committee members support the fair, using it as an opportunity to reinforce the role of Miami Lean's "go green" breakthrough objective. Committee members and their peers designed and ran three of approximately fifteen booths, and two of twelve break-out sessions in the January 2016 Lean Fair.
A brief description of the staff and/or other financial support the institution provides to the program (1st program):
Materials are provided by the Physical Facilities Department's sustainability office. The Lean Fair organizers arrange for the facility. Employee attendance at the Lean Fair is encouraged and supported by the University.

A brief description of how the employee educators are selected (2nd program):
Each year employees fill out an interest form related to all the clusters and committees within the library system. The Assistant Deans then look to fill committees based on these interest forms taking into account interest, workload, expertise, and other committee appointments. Committee members serve on the committee for a multi-year term. A committee chair is chosen during this process.
A brief description of the formal training that the employee educators receive (2nd program):
Small group meetings are scheduled each month. Campus experts are invited to share insights and educate the committee on current practices. Also, literature is shared with the group and discussions follow in upcoming meetings.
A brief description of the financial or other support the institution provides to the program (2nd program):
No formal budget is designated for the Sustainability committee; however, when projects and programs arise we can write a proposal to the Dean for one time funding. Projects given as part of the sustainability committee are honored as job related projects and given the support needed for the staff member to complete said projects during work.
