Bylaws Revision Notification

Staff Assembly Executive Committee is proposing a revision to the UC Davis Health Staff Assembly Bylaws. These changes are intended to enhance inclusivity and better support the planning of key staff-focused initiatives.

Proposed Amendments:

1. ERG Involvement in Executive Committee Elections
   We propose formally involving Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) in the election process for Executive Committee members. This inclusion aims to broaden representation and ensure a more diverse and engaged leadership team.

2. Expansion of Events Committee Roles
   The Events position on the Executive Committee will be expanded to two executive committee members for each said role- resulting in a total of four members.

This change is designed to:

• Provide greater support in planning and executing special events, such as Gifts From the Heart (GFTH) and Thank Goodness For Staff (TGFS).
• Help distribute the workload more equitably among volunteers, recognizing that these roles require significant time and effort outside of regular job responsibilities.

We believe these updates will enhance Staff Assembly’s capacity to serve as a vehicle for staff voice, honor and celebrate staff contributions, and advance the interests and overall well-being of all members of the UC Davis Health community.

Review & Feedback:

We encourage all staff to review these proposed revisions. If you have any questions or objections, please email StaffAssembly@health.ucdavis.edu within 10 business days of this notice. If no objections are received by the end of the 10-business-day review period, the proposed bylaw revisions will be considered adopted.

Thank you for your continued support and participation in Staff Assembly.
