Self-nominations for a seat on the Staff Advisory Committee to the President (SAC) are open through May 1, 2020.  There is one at-large seat open for temporary staff, two divisional seats open for the Executive Division and one divisional seat open from each of the following:

  • Athletics
  • Student Affairs
  • Facilities and Planning
  • Information Technology
  • Institutional Advancement

The above divisional representatives will serve for three years, and the temporary staff representative will serve for one year. One Executive Division representative will serve a three-year term; the other will serve the remaining year of an existing term. The term for the newly elected members begins July 1.

The purpose of SAC is to advise the president about staff opinions concerning matters of importance to the staff and institution, to receive the president’s requests for advice and counsel regarding matters relevant to the staff, to increase awareness of the staff’s contributions to the College and to promote the recognition of outstanding staff.

Nominees should be willing to commit to meeting as an entire committee at least once a month and to meeting with their chosen subcommittee at least once a month. They should also expect to represent SAC at staff drop-ins and other SAC initiatives throughout the year. Divisional representatives should also plan to communicate SAC initiatives with their divisions, encourage their division to participate in SAC-sponsored events and solicit action items for SAC to work on.

Any staff member who occupies a temporary, non-instructional position can self-nominate for the temporary staff seat. Any permanent, full-time staff member who does not have “president” or “provost” in their title can self-nominate for a divisional seat. Divisional representatives must work in the division they will represent.

Candidates will be announced May 4, with an open election May 18–24. Election winners will be announced May 25.

To nominate yourself, complete the online nomination form. All nominations are self-nominations.
