Outreach & Events Committee
This sub-committee was formed in 1991 at the request of the Chancellor. Its purpose is to arrange year-round events designed to honor Boulder campus staff. The free activities each year include the Ice Cream Social, Staff Appreciation Breakfast, and Field Day. This committee has a ton of fun and engages with a lot of staff each year. There are lots of opportunities for collecting feedback and connecting more closely with our constituents. While the committee plans the events, all Staff Council members are requested to participate on all major events to help make them a success.
We look forward to having you join us for upcoming Staff Appreciation Events!
Committee Co-Chairs: Karrie Pitzer and Jessica Sandoval
