About SAC
Participation on the council allows members to gain and develop leadership and team collaboration skills, where their unique perspectives will help inform key decisions and policymaking for staff initiatives at Johns Hopkins.
Those who serve on the SAC will have opportunities to network with others across the university, have access to leadership for the purpose of sharing information from the council, and will gain visibility within their school or division, as well as across the university. In addition, membership on the university SAC is also considered professional development.
All full-time JHU staff in good standing (to be verified by divisional and Human Resources leaders) are eligible to self-nominate. Only self-nominations are accepted – staff cannot nominate someone else. Participation on the council is voluntary and considered work time. The council meets monthly for two hours, with additional subcommittee meetings.
Council Membership and Organization
See Current 2024 JHU SAC Members listed here
The council is composed of elected staff who represent various backgrounds, organizational levels, job areas and functions across the university, as well as years of service. The council typically meets twice each spring and fall semester and as needed to consider timely issues.
The SAC consists of 37 elected members and 5 non-voting members appointed by university leadership. The number of SAC members is determined by the number of employees in a school or division, with a minimum of 2 seats for each school or division. Elections for new members are held annually.
