Staff Council Representatives

For the purposes of the CAFE Staff Council, the college is divided into 11 precincts. The Robinson Center for Appalachian Resource Sustainability (RCARS) has one representative. The UK Research and Education Center in Princeton has one representative. Three representatives are from Kentucky cooperative Extension's professional society, Chi Epsilon Sigma, representing staff in the 120 counties and designated one precinct. 

The CAFE SC members are appointed by the Dean of CAFE or her designee. Membership will rotate among the units in each precinct. Department chairs and unit directors are consulted regarding candidates for the CAFE SC.

Terms are two years in length, based on a fiscal year from July 1-June 30. Terms will be staggered as much as feasible. Members who fill an unexpired term will serve for two years.
