Staff Adviosry Council

Annual Report ~ 2007

 

The Notre Dame Staff Advisory Council (SAC) completed its 11th year of existence in 2007. During 2007, SAC held 12 regularly scheduled monthly meetings.   In addition, several members of the SAC served on various ad hoc and standing committees, including: SAC Promotions, elections, executive, web-page, parking appeals, parking, compassion fund and benefits. Several of these committees often met after work or on lunch hours. We wish to thank all those SAC members who served on committees. The input generated by their additional effort was invaluable to the various ends of each committee and to the overall function of the
Staff Advisory Council.
