Staff Advisory Committee

Staff Advisory Committee

The Staff Advisory Committee was formed in 2012 to provide staff members a voice in the actions and direction of the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture. The committee meets four times each year to discuss matters which impact staff members, and find solutions to these issues. Members are elected to two- or three-year terms by peers in their respective areas, and service is voluntary. If you are interested in getting involved in SAC or have questions, please contact a member of the committee for more information.
