As a Board member you will have the chance to represent staff concerns to administration, help recognize outstanding employees, provide opportunities for employees to continue their education and professional development through scholarships and training opportunities, communicate staff concerns to the State legislature by working closely with university legislative liasons, and help staff connect with each other in meaningful ways. Unless otherwise noted, positions are a two-year commitment and open to any USU benefited staff member regardless of campus location. (All regular meetings are also offered via Zoom.)

Staff members can only declare their own candidacy for open positions. If you are considering throwing your hat into the ring as a candidate, please talk to your supervisor to get their support for your potential extra service commitment.
If you know of someone you feel would be a good candidate for one of the open positions on the board, please either reach out to them directly, or complete the form on this page, encouraging them to consider running for a specific position and declaring their candidacy.
The decision to declare your candidacy should not be made lightly, as there is a regular time commitment and in some cases a heavier commitment during certain times of the year. You can review requirements and estimated time commitments on our Get Involved page.
Please note that USU Eastern Chapter representatives are managed according to chapter procedures.
