Welcome!
Welcome to the Operating Staff Council website at the University of New Hampshire. The OS Council serves in an advisory capacity to the President of the University, reporting to the President on concerns regarding the rights and responsibilities of Operating Staff. The Council is also actively involved in ongoing communication, collaboration, and advocacy to best serve the needs of Operating Staff here at UNH.
This site is an informational tool for Operating Staff where you can read more about our purposes and goals, review our monthly meeting minutes, find your district representative, or access links to other helpful websites. Any time you have a question or concern or if there is a topic you'd like to see the Council address, please contact a representative.
