Meet the Representatives

GSCgraphic 2026

Council Structure

The Genesee Staff Council is broken up into eighteen districts, each with a number of representatives determined by the total number of staff in that district. This diagram shows what each district represents and how many representatives they each have.

The council meets once per month and elects representatives for terms of two years (see Election Process below). Once a council is seated it will elect the council co-chairs who will serve a two-year term, and an additional one year as an ex-officio member, to provide continuity of leadership moving forward.
