Membership

To be chosen by colleagues is an honor and a responsibility that acknowledges each representative's commitment to serving the CWRU staff members. Through participation in this Council, representatives have an extraordinary opportunity to help shape the future of the University.

Members serve a two-year term beginning September of the year in which they were elected. Representatives fulfill SAC's mission to:

  • Establish and maintain a forum for communication between University staff and administration on all levels;
  • Establish and maintain a forum for communication among staff of the University.

Council members represent all members of their constituent bodies by attending the General Council meetings. Representatives have the responsibility to actively participate in at least one committee.
