Chair: Laura Evans
This committee will be responsible for maintaining all initiatives related to membership, to include Box access, membership roster, appropriate representation across all academic and administrative units, call for membership nominations, and officer elections.
Chair: Cynthia Beard
Service roles may include volunteer and advisory opportunities, participation on search committees, and providing staff perspective to leadership through strategic opportunities.
Chair: Kelli Brooks
Staff Council strives to include members from a wide range of colleges, departments, and units throughout the university, based on staff distribution.
Any permanent "regular" employee of 91Â鶹, full-time (1.0 FTE), in a non-faculty position, having served at least 12 consecutive months in good standing shall be considered for membership. Membership shall be considered part of an employee's regular workweek and shall not generate any overtime pay compensatory time. Approval from the staff member’s supervisor and vetting through Human Resources is required to join the Council.
Nominations for staff members to join the council open up each Spring, with an election taking place in mid to late Spring. Council member terms begin on July 1 (the beginning of the fiscal year) and members serve a 3-year term, with the option to renew for one additional 3-year term.
If a member of a particular unit resigns from the Council before the Spring nomination and election process takes place, the Membership Committee will identify and recommend at least one eligible candidate to fill the vacancy. The vacancy will be filled by a staff member within the same reporting unit in the President's Executive Cabinet, as outlined in Article III Section I of the bylaws, but not necessarily from the same department or office.
For questions about membership, please view our or email AU_StaffCouncil@augusta.edu.
