A group was selected to assess the idea and make a recommendation. As a result, a proposed charter was approved. After two years of planning and review, NAU&rsquo;s Classified Staff Advisory Council (CSAC) was officially recognized on November 14, 1991. The Service Professional Advisory Council (SPAC) soon followed and was formed when NAU distinguished between two separate staff classifications. In 2020 both councils decided to merge to better represent staff.<br>\n<\/p>\n\n    <\/body><\/html>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n        <!-- shortcode-accordion -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-accordion shortcode-accordion--closed\" style=\"position: relative;\" >\n        <a class=\"shortcode-accordion__trigger\" data-header=\"Bylaws_4\" href=\"#\">\n      <div class=\"shortcode-accordion__header\">\n          <h4>Bylaws <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Accordion Closed<\/span><\/h4>\n          <span class=\"shortcode-accordion__header__arrow\"><\/span>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n    <div class=\"shortcode-accordion__body\">\n        <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<html><body>\n\n<p>Most recent <a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2026\/01\/SAC_Mission-Vision-Bylaws-24-25.pdf\">Bylaws<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Approved August 18, 2021<\/em><br>\n<\/p>\n\n    <\/body><\/html>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Get Involved<\/h2>\n<div class='shortcode-column-container'><!-- shortcode-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-column shortcode-column--count-2\">\n    <\/p>\n<p><!-- shortcode-image-callout -->\n<span class=\"shortcode-image-callout shortcode-image-callout--center\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/sac\/events\/\">    <span class=\"shortcode-image-callout__outer-container\">\n        <span class=\"shortcode-image-callout__container\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-740 size-square-image\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-11-at-10.28.08-AM-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-11-at-10.28.08-AM-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-11-at-10.28.08-AM-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-11-at-10.28.08-AM-600x600.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n                        <span class=\"shortcode-image-callout__header-container\">\n                <span>Upcoming Events<\/span>\n            <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n            <\/span>\n    <\/a><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-column shortcode-column--count-2\">\n    <\/p>\n<p><!-- shortcode-image-callout -->\n<span class=\"shortcode-image-callout shortcode-image-callout--center\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/sac\/volunteer-opportunities\/\">    <span class=\"shortcode-image-callout__outer-container\">\n        <span class=\"shortcode-image-callout__container\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-740 size-square-image\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-11-at-10.10.42-AM-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\n                        <span class=\"shortcode-image-callout__header-container\">\n                <span>Volunteer Opportunities<\/span>\n            <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n            <\/span>\n    <\/a><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Staff Advisory Council The Staff Advisory Council (SAC) is the officially recognized body to represent Classified Staff and Service Professionals at Northern Arizona University.
