Serving on Staff Council

The Director of Human Resources will conduct an election in each group in accordance with the following procedures: each group of employees will nominate one or more members to serve as the employee representative.

The nominee receiving the highest number of the votes cast shall be designated as the employee representative. The nominee receiving the second highest number of votes cast shall be designated an alternate to attend the meeting in place of the representative as the need arises, and assume the role of the representative should the elected representative abdicate his/her responsibilities.
