Employee Advisory Board

The Employee Advisory Board is comprised of one employee per operational shift (not including AM or PM shifts), one Operations supervisor, one representative of Support Services, and one employee selected by administration. The Operational supervisors are responsible for coordinating the selection of their shift representative. Each employee on the Board will serve for a one-year term, January through December, unless the employee moves to a different shift at which time a new representative from the shift will replace them. Employees may serve multiple terms if selected by their shift to do so. There are no requirements of tenure or position (call taker vs. dispatcher), it is open to all employees. The Board will meet every other month.
