Staff, presenting the Division with an opportunity for us to form a new Shared Governance Council that not only represents employees in the new employee classification, University Staff, but also those who are Classified Staff, both collectively referred to
simply as Staff. An Organizing Committee has been formed to help facilitate the formation of this new group. </span><span class="eop"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="paragraph" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span class="normaltextrun">Our first step is to set up an initial organizational meeting and are requesting that, if possible, each Unit within ALVSCE Unit Head and School Director appoint one University
Staff member to attend. We are looking to start with a large representative base of Staff who are interested in learning more about joining this Shared Governance Council, becoming a part of Division Shared Governance, and getting involved in helping to make
our Division and our College a great place to work. Please note that what we are requesting is that one representative be able to attend this kick off meeting and then either continue or go back to their unit with more information to be able to recommend
another Staff member to join this new Council.</span><span class="eop"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span class="normaltextrun"><b>A Request of You</b> </span><span class="eop"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="paragraph" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span class="normaltextrun">Please reply to this message by Friday, May 28, 2021 with the contact information for a Staff member in your unit who you are selecting to attend this initial meeting, scheduled
for June 29, 2021, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM. The time commitment is 1.5 hours for this event, and if the employee you select decides to join the new Staff Council, the time commitment is no more than 4 hours per month. We will then get in contact with them
for next steps.</span><span class="eop"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
