On 16 March, the Classified Staff Executive Committee met in Special Session in order to respond to a call from the Chancellor’s office that a member of the classified staff be recommended to serve on a Shared Governance Task Force, operating at the UW-System level and chaired by Board of Regents member, Gerald Whitburn. Seven members of the classified staff submitted their names for consideration and the Executive Committee chose Mr. Jake Smith, a Program Assistant Confidential, as its selection. In addition the Executive Committee selected Ms. Mary Czynszak-Lyne, a University Services Program Associate, as an Alternate, should Mr. Smith be unable to serve.
