Council of UC Staff Assemblies (CUCSA)
The Chair and Chair-Elect of the Staff Association Executive Board also serve as UC San Diego's delegates on the Council of UC Staff Assemblies (CUCSA).
CUCSA is an assembly of staff dedicated to improving communications between UC administrators and staff, and between staff at UC locations (Office of the President, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and all ten campuses). The Council’s objective is to provide service to the University by advising and providing a staff perspective to decision makers. Through CUCSA, our delegates communicate about matters affecting staff, such as benefits, change management, diversity, wellness, and engagement. The Council includes two delegates from each campus, Office of the President, and Berkeley Lab, as well as three officers.
