Are Staff Council Governing Board meetings and all Staff Council Committee meetings open for anyone to attend?

Staff Council Governing Board meetings are held the first Wednesday of every month from 9 AM to 11 AM and are open for anyone to attend. All Staff Council Committee meetings are also open for for anyone to attend. We welcome any member's participation and would love to hear from you! Or, if you prefer, just come and listen to what's going on.

Are Staff Council Committees meetings open for anyone to join?

Definitely! Is there an aspect of the staff council you'd like to be more involved in? Check out our committee pages for current membership, meeting dates/locations, duties, and current committee projects. We welcome additional input and would be crazy to turn away willing volunteers. You can also see what governing board members serve on each committee.
