SAC Elections Committee

Mission

The Elections Committee shall be responsible for organizing and monitoring the election process for the Council, as well as, planning an orientation program for newly elected Council Representatives. It is our mission to preserve the integrity of the election process by continuing to follow the guidelines as set forth in the Staff Advisory Council Constitution.

Objectives

A full list of nominees to serve as representatives in all management areas is essential. The Election committee will strive to increase involvement and interest in the election process for the Staff Advisory Council. Increasing representation within the two largest management groups, the School of Medicine and University Administration, will be one of our primary goals for the coming year. The committee has expectations that this will lead to an improved understanding of Council operations. The creation of a nomination sub-committee has been carefully reviewed and initiated. Appropriate constitutional changes have been introduced to assist with the objectives of the elections committee and nomination sub-committee.
