Represent – Advise – Advocate

- Conveys the ideas, concerns, and suggestions of staff to the university administration
- Advises senior leadership on staff-related issues
- Advocates for staff interests on university committees
- Creates opportunities to celebrate staff and deepen the sense of community among all university members
