STAFF COUNCIL ELECTIONS
The UMKC Staff Council is in the process of filling seats for those members whose terms expire on May 31, 2016.
If you know outstanding staff members who you feel would represent the staff well, please nominate them. If you feel that you would be a good representative, we encourage you to nominate yourself.
We’d also like to encourage ALL staff to participate in Staff Council – including system employees and research staff that may have academic appointments. We are looking for staff members who wish to make a difference at UMKC.
Please submit Staff Council nominations by

Once the nominations have been received, we will contact each nominee and ask them to submit a platform (reasons) why they want to serve on the UMKC Staff Council. On March 21th, we will send out each nominee’s platform and ask that all staff vote on who they feel should represent them on the Staff Council.
