Note: This announcement was updated Dec. 16 to reflect that the deadline was extended to Friday, Dec. 20.
The self-nomination period is now open for staff members interested in joining the Johns Hopkins University Staff Advisory Council. Those who self-nominate will participate in elections in January, with winners elected to a two-year term on the council beginning in February 2025.
The Staff Advisory Council gathers monthly to discuss staff priorities ranging from employee experience to policies and procedures and to meet with university leaders to exchange ideas. Participation is voluntary and is considered work time.
The council fulfills an important goal of both the Second Roadmap on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and the Ten for One strategic framework as the university seeks to foster a dynamic workplace where all staff can thrive personally and professionally.
To ensure broad representation, the number of seats available for each division or area of the university is determined by its number of employees. There is a minimum of two seats for each across job levels. Members may serve up to two terms but must nominate themselves and be elected for each term. More information about current openings on the council can be found on the Staff Advisory Council website.
The self-nomination period is open through Friday, Dec. 20; individuals interested in joining the SAC should complete the online self-nomination form. Information you submit will be used during the election period.
