You already play a vital role in the UW community and you can help to define and shape the staff experience for everyone by taking on a role within the Staff Association. With your enthusiasm and commitment, the UWSA can advocate to improve our workplace.
Please consider serving the UW community by putting your name forward for one of these positions or recommending a fellow staff member. As UW adapts and evolves in a changing world, we need a strong voice to ensure that our perspective is clearly presented and reflects the needs of our diverse staff.
Finding the right role for you
There are two big categories of UWSA work—operations and governance—and understanding this distinction will help you decide what type of work is right for you! If you're interested in...
- Stewarding the organization: Consider serving on the Board of Directors and the Elections Working Group.
-
Working with members and building community: Join the Area Reps Council or a UWSA committee.
-
Advocating for staff interests: Watch for calls for representatives on University committees, or consider running for president!
New opportunities are posted here and emailed to members regularly!
Current opportunities
We’re always looking for more members to represent staff on our Area Representatives Council. This group meets virtually September through June to share and hear updates on issues affecting staff. Feedback from Area Reps shapes UWSA priorities.
