Staff Advisors to Regents to Talk About their Role

November 29, 2007


Lynda Brewer and
Bill Johansen

UCSF staff are invited to hear about the important role of UC staff advisors, who serve on two committees of the UC Board of Regents.

UC staff advisor Lynda Brewer, an assistant director of capital planning at UC Irvine, and staff advisor designate Bill Johansen, a senior business manager at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, will talk about their role on Monday, Dec. 3.

The talk is slated from noon to 1 p.m. in the School of Nursing building, room N 225, on the Parnassus campus. Refreshments will be served.

In January 2005, the Regents voted unanimously to establish positions for two staff advisors to participate in the deliberative process and to provide a staff perspective. Under the Staff Advisor Program, two staff or non-Academic Senate academic employees jointly serve as nonvoting advisors to two Regents committees: the Committee on Educational Policy and the Committee on Finance.

Applications for the 2008-2010 staff advisor designate position will be available on the staff advisor website and at local Human Resources offices beginning in January 2008. The application period will then run for at least 30 days.

For questions regarding the presentation, contact Heather Nichols.
