about staff advisory council (sac)
Staff Advisory Council (SAC) was established to ensure that there will always be a means of open communication among the various levels of the College community.
Responsibilities
SAC has been commissioned by the President and sanctioned by the Board of Trustees of Columbus State Community College to review, evaluate and make recommendations on institutional and staff development concerns. Matters to be discussed by the Council can be initiated by staff members, SAC Representatives or the President.
Membership
SAC Representatives are elected by full-time staff employees from the areas they represent. Each representative serves a two-year term. Representatives will voice your concerns to SAC, and report back to you on college developments that matter to YOU!
Meetings
SAC meetings are typically held on the second Thursday of each month. Our meetings are open to all staff employees. Please join us when you have the opportunity!
Committees
Activities Committee - plans and coordinates SAC activities including our community fundraisers.
By-Laws Committee - explores issues to improve the function of Staff Advisory Council, and updates the By-Laws as needed.
Elections and Membership Committee - is responsible for promoting and maintaining SAC membership by holding elections and monitoring vacancies.
Staff Professional Development Committee- is responsible for discovering and promoting professional development opportunities for both the Council itself and staff as a whole. They also plan our annual SAC retreat.
