Re:	Call for Volunteers: Confidential and Professional & Managerial Advisory Committees

I am writing to request nominations and volunteers for the Confidential and Professional & Managerial Advisory Committees.

Role of the Committees

The primary role of the Confidential and Professional & Managerial Staff Advisory Committees is to offer ideas and provide advice and feedback to me in my role as the Vice-President, Human Resources & Equity, bring forward the views and interests of Confidential and Professional & Managerial colleagues on the development and implementation of work-related policies and programs for Confidential Staff and Professional & Managerial Staff and to participate in a forum for consultation on institutional policy and strategic issues that relate to the work of Confidential and Professional & Managerial Staff. The Committees meet three to four times per year with me and various other representatives from the organization.

We are currently seeking new members as follows:

• Confidential and Professional & Managerial 1-2 Advisory Committee – one vacancy
• Professional & Managerial 3-5 Advisory Committee – two vacancies
• Professional & Managerial 6-9 Advisory Committee – six vacancies

Advisory Committee members serve for three-year terms, with the terms ending on June 30.

I encourage you to review the Confidential Staff and Professional & Managerial Staff Advisory Committees’ Terms of Reference and speak with colleagues who have served on one of the committees to hear about their experience as a member. Member lists of the current Advisory Committees are available on the HR & Equity website.

If you are interested in volunteering to be a member of one of the Confidential and Professional & Managerial Advisory Committees or if you wish to nominate a colleague, please complete and submit the volunteer / nomination form to Meredith Sandles, Secretariat to the Confidential and Professional & Managerial Advisory Committees by email at m.sandles@utoronto.ca no later than Friday, May 15, 2015.

Membership will be selected by my office from among those who volunteer or are nominated by a colleague based on the criteria set out in the Terms of Reference.
