Staff Council provides a forum for Washburn and Washburn Tech staff to advocate their position on issues which affect them and to provide advice to the University President on matters of mutual interest. Staff Council is responsible for collecting issues and concerns from constituents, developing by-laws, establishing representative groups, and organizing the election of alternating Staff Council representatives.
This is where YOUR help is needed to make a difference on campus. We need interested and concerned individuals to volunteer to serve on Staff Council if elected by the members of their group. Please do not be shy about submitting your name to be put on the ballot!
But what is YOUR OBLIGATION, you ask?
- You or your alternate will need to attend monthly meetings that last about an hour.
- You will need to make sure your supervisor understands and approves your absence during working hours.
- You will be in charge of collecting information from and disseminating information to the other members in your group on a regular basis.
- You will be asked served a two-year term starting October 1, 2022.
Submitting your name for consideration is easy.
