Visit the Staff Council Unit Finder tool to verify which unit you belong to (UA network or VPN required).

Staff Council representatives serve as an important link between their unit and UAF’s administration. By voicing staff concerns and needs to UAF and UA leadership, Staff Council plays a vital role in the shared governance of our university. Representatives are essential to ensuring that staff at all levels are included in the many complex decisions made at UAF every day. There's never been a more important time to consider joining Staff Council. Staff Council representatives can expect to spend 3-5 hours per month on Staff Council business.
