SSC shall consist of elected and appointed representatives; elections and appointments shall be conducted in accordance with these Bylaws.
Section 2 – Composition
SSC representation shall be between nine (9) and fifteen (15) representative positions, held by employees. The vice president for Employee and Information Services shall appoint a Human Resources department representative to serve as an ex officio member (HR ex officio) of SSC and shall not be counted as one of the fifteen representative positions. The HR ex officio will not have a vote on SSC business matters unless otherwise specified in these Bylaws.

Representatives are elected to serve terms of two years and may be elected for an unlimited number of consecutive or non-consecutive terms. Terms shall commence on July 1, unless otherwise agreed upon by majority vote. In the event of a representative being appointed, his/her term shall commence on the effective date of such appointment, and end on June 30 of the current fiscal year.
Elected SSC officers shall serve for terms of one year, from July 1 through June 30 of any given year. Elected or appointed officers who assume their offices anytime after July 1 shall serve in that capacity for the remainder of such yearly term, through June 30 of the current fiscal year. The chair and vice chair (or co-chairs) may serve up to three consecutive terms and must then step down from the position for one year before being eligible to be elected to the same position for additional terms.
