<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#404040">Please reply to this message by Friday, June 11, 2021 with the name of a Staff member in your unit who you think would be interested and help by participating in an initial kickoff
meeting for Staff Council, scheduled for June 29, 2021, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM. This is a one-time commitment of 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 regarding this upcoming meeting. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#404040">We want to set up an initial organizational meeting and are requesting that, if possible, each 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><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#404040">With the implementation of <a href="http://ucap.arizona.edu" target="_blank" title="http://ucap.arizona.edu">UCAP</a> in January 2020, Classified Staff and Appointed Professionals
were reclassified as University 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><o:p></o:p></p>
