Agency-wide Information: Staff Advisory Council—They Represent You!

Heartland’s 2010-2011 Staff Advisory Council meetings will resume on September 15 in Indianola. Meetings are scheduled monthly, September through May, except for December. The council has 30 members whose collective representation covers all areas of our agency staff. Council members serve as ambassadors of the Agency to the areas and/or work groups they represent. The council, facilitated by Laura Gillon, Chief of Staff, and Nola Bond, Director of Human Resources, is designed with two main purposes: 1) advise agency administration on specific issues regarding policies, procedures and agency climate and 2) share staff questions, suggestions and/or concerns. Staff members are encouraged to use their Staff Advisory Council member to bring ideas and comments to this group.
