Visit the Staff Council Unit Finder tool to verify which unit you belong to (UA network or VPN required). Those in odd-numbered units are welcome to nominate themselves or a colleague to serve a two-year term representing that unit. You may also nominate a staff member from any unit to an at-large position.

Staff Council representatives serve as an important link between their unit and ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ’s administration. By voicing staff concerns and needs to ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ and UA leadership, Staff Council plays a vital role in the shared governance of our university. Representatives are essential to ensuring that staff at all levels are included in the many complex decisions made at ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ every day. There's never been a more important time to consider joining Staff Council. Staff Council representatives can expect to spend 3-5 hours per month on Staff Council business.
