Staffing

The Board discussed the staff needed to help SGA carry out its roles and responsibilities. They agreed the roles and responsibilities outlined in the business plan developed by the External Relations Committee were still relevant, even with anticipated staffing changes. They discussed options for securing SGA office space in Washington, DC. Based on these discussions, Board members agreed on the following.

• The business plan developed by the External Relations Committee will be revised as necessary to reflect staffing changes and will be used to develop specific job descriptions.

• SGA will hire a full-time professional staff person as soon as possible.

• SGA will hire a half time administrative assistant, who could be shared with another compatible organization to create a full-time position.

• SGA will attempt to negotiate an agreement with CORE whereby SGA would rent office space and make arrangements for CORE to provide staff related support services such as payroll, benefits, etc.

• SGA will retain responsibility for providing direction, oversight and assessment for SGA staff members.

• SGA will develop contingency options in case agreement cannot be reached with CORE on space and staff related support services.

The SGA President and Chairman of the External Relations Committee will be responsible for moving forward with staff hiring, negotiations with CORE, and making the necessary revisions to the business plan.
