SAC meets as an entire committee at least once a month, and subcommittees also meet at least once a month. They represent SAC at staff drop-ins, the Staff Awards Presentation in June and other SAC initiatives throughout the year. Divisional representatives communicate SAC initiatives with their divisions, encourage their divisions to participate in SAC-sponsored events and solicit action items for SAC to work on.
The purpose of SAC is to advise the president about staff opinions concerning matters of importance to the staff and institution, to receive the presidentโs requests for advice and counsel regarding matters relevant to the staff, to increase awareness of the staffโs contributions to the College and to promote the recognition of outstanding staff.
