Welcome.
The Staff Advisory Council (SAC) was established in March 1973 to promote and facilitate communication between Managerial/Professional and Office/Service employees of the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the Chancellor. SAC acts only in an advisory capacity to the Chancellor and other University administrators.
Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month. All UNO employees are welcome to attend.

Staff Advisory Council Elections
The Staff Advisory Council Elections are held each year in October. Announcements for nominations will be made in September on this site and through enotes. At that time, the Staff Advisory Council will be looking for volunteers to serve in vacant areas where the three year term limit has expired. The elected position is for a three year commitment, with the expectation of attending monthly meetings and serving on various subcommittees. SAC is a working council that meets at least once a month, usually the second Tuesday of the month at 9:00 a.m.
Chancellor Christensen encourages the support of supervisors in allowing their employees the time of to participate in this important mission.
