BECOME A CPC REPRESENTATIVE

What is CPC?

The Council represents CSU State Classified employees on issues such as raises, parking, work-life balance, supervisor training, employee recognition, and members contribute to many university committees across campus.

What would I do?

CPC members meet monthly and serve on one of five CPC committees, as well as other potential University Committees. General involvement in CPC meetings and activities would be around 2-4 hours per month.  Some committees require more time and at different times of the year.  That time commitment could be in addition to the 2-4 hours for meetings, another 4 hours per month for other committee sponsored activities.  A total of 8 hours per month could be realized, but not for a sustained period of time.  Members are not expected to place CPC meetings and activities as a priority over their normal work.  Members can pick and choose what committees/ activities and meetings they can make work within their own schedule.

Am I eligible?

State Classified employees, working half-time (50%) or more, that have worked at CSU for at least 6 months are eligible to serve.
