About the Staff Council

Introduction
In October of 2002, a new committee was formed to represent the staff here at Catawba just as the Faculty Senate represents their ranks. Council members chose various staff in their areas to represent their department or building.

Some issues we have discussed since the conception of this committee are: inclement weather policy, sick pay policies, life insurance levels, length of service awards, grievance procedures, terms of membership on the committee, and how the new strategic plan will affect staff members. Please keep in mind that the Staff Committee does not have the authority to make these changes, just to make sure that our voices are heard. Our proposals are then presented to the proper channels.

If you have an issue you would like to bring before the committee, please contact the committee Chair to be added to the agenda. We invite you to visit this site often in order to keep informed of projects the committee is working on and their progress.

Statement of Purpose

On behalf of the staff this committee will examine issues and policies regarding personnel, including staff benefits, welfare, and professional development programs. This committee is responsible for making recommendations regarding:

the recruitment and orientation of new staff
staff benefits and welfare
staff development programs
coordinates and promotes interdepartmental working relationships across the campus
coordinates and fosters a better working relationship within the College community, including students, faculty, and administration

Committee Members

Please feel free to contact any of these people with questions, concerns or suggestions for the committee.

Membership Criteria

Overview
Original committee members were selected by members of the President's Advisory Counsel. These members served for two years after the initial first year to accommodate the developmental process of the committee. During the first year, the committee selected three additional members to better represent the staff; an additional member for athletics and two members representing housekeeping and maintenance. Staff members are divided into groups to attempt to provide equitable representation for the committee.
