Several two hour-long workshop sessions involve communication, conflict resolution and career assessment.

The presentation of the Vision Awards will be given over a networking luncheon, followed by an inspiring wrap-up session by Alaina Levine, "Success Bling Bling II – The Diva Strikes Back." The Vision Awards were created in 1989 by the Arizona Board of Regents to honor individuals who are managing their units in a way that embodies the vision set out by the original ABOR Commission. The award recognizes directors, department heads and unit managers for their improvements in the area of compensation and equity, campus climate, career and professional development and advocating positive change.

The Commission on the Status of Women would like to remind employees of the 16-hour professional development leave policy that is available to all classified staff members each year. The Web site at http://fp.arizona.edu/csw/ will open for registration on Monday, Oct. 10, until the 200-participant capacity is reached.

Staff Council Seeks Active Members

Classified staff members who want to be more involved in University processes and maintain a venue for their opinions to be heard are invited to apply or make nominations for membership to the Staff Advisory Council. New members will be appointed to three-year terms.

The council provides a forum for discussing issues related to staff as a resource for many on- and off-campus inquiring groups. In the past year, SAC has had representatives address the council from UA Human Resources, Parking and Transportation, the UA Web Council, Ombuds Program, Strategic Planning and Budget Committee, UA provost and state legislators and liaisons. The council in turn makes recommendations on existing and proposed University policies and procedures to ensure classified staff members are considered and included in the processes.

In addition, the council has several subcommittees that organize fund-raising activities, create networking opportunities and camaraderie among staff and other UA groups, recognize outstanding employees, manage a scholarship endowment that benefits staff members who choose to further their education, and advocates for legislative activities that support the UA and classified staff.

Nominations are being accepted on the Staff Advisory Council Web site under the Membership Application heading. Nominees must be non-probationary classified staff employees who are energetic, conscientious, and concerned with staff issues. Each must be willing to commit eight hours a month to SAC activities.

Contact Anne Lopez for more information.
