Accomplishments

2005 – 2006 proved to be a successful as well as exciting year for the Staff Advisory Council! The newly formed Council accomplished a great deal during the past year—setting the bar high for future Council members.

The Council hosted a booth at AASU Day, which successfully collected $143.00. Proceeds from the AASU Day booth were contributed to the Staff Textbook Scholarship.
The Staff Textbook Scholarship was established to help AASU staff members pay for course textbooks. In addition, this scholarship is an incentive for staff members who are eligible for Tuition Assistance to attend classes here at Armstrong.
A Sick Leave Pool was established, putting Armstrong among the first institutions to offer this benefit to staff and faculty. Currently, there are 2000+ hours in the Sick Leave Pool.
The Special Events Committee staged its first community project, “Spring for Your Neighbor,” collecting toiletry items for the S.A.F.E. Shelter. The project resulted in 302 complete toiletry packs and six boxes of larger-size products for use by S.A.F.E. Shelter clients.
