Represent – Advise – Engage


Staff Advisory Council members represent staff interests on university committees and help shape decisions that impact Wake Forest staff. Established in 2006, the SAC strengthens communication and collaboration between staff and university administration at all levels and is charged with:

  • Representing Staff: Convey the ideas, concerns, and suggestions of staff to the university administration.
  • Advising Leadership: Advise the President of the university and senior leadership on subjects that impact staff.
  • Engaging Colleagues: Create opportunities to engage staff with campus initiatives, foster community, and embody Pro Humanitate.

2026-27 SAC Meeting Dates

SAC meetings will be held at 11 a.m. on campus and with a Zoom option unless otherwise indicated.

All staff are welcome; you do not need to be an elected member of the SAC to attend.
