The Staff Council of Rocky Mountain College exists to:

• Enhance communication between all staff, faculty, and administration within the College;
• Encourage professional and personal development within the staff;
• Provide a forum for discussing matters pertinent and important to staff of the College; and
• Advise and make recommendations about existing and proposed College policies and procedures.

The Council is a pure democracy in that every RMC employee is a member. RMC staff make a positive difference in College operations and policies by contributing ideas. Summaries of meetings go directly to the President’s cabinet via meeting minutes and presentation by Staff Council leadership.

Monthly meetings typically occur the third Tuesday of each month. Meeting agenda items include presentations by staff council sub-committees, administration, and faculty as well as new business brought to the attention of the Staff Council. Staff Council Bylaws regulate officers’ responsibilities and meeting governance. Sub-committees work to address issues and topics of interest.
