The CPC depends on dedicated and informed State Classified employees to be part of the Council.
The University depends on the CPC to:
- Disseminate important information to State Classified and other CSU employees

- Review bills before the State Legislature that impact the university community
- Recognize State Classified and other CSU employee accomplishments and contributions

Additional information about the Council can be found on the CPC website.
CPC Representatives are elected to serve a three-year term. Representatives elected in the spring of 2016 will begin their term effective July 1, 2016, and serve through June 30, 2019.
If you are interested in becoming a CPC Representative, please follow the self-nomination process outlined below. The deadline for completed nominations is 5 p.m. on Friday, March 18, 2016.
Self-Nomination Process
Step 1 – Consider your current work load and availability. The term of service for CPC Representatives is three (3) years beginning July 1, 2016.

Step 3 – Complete the nomination paperwork. Fill out a Prospective CPC Representative Form and write a Letter of Interest. The form can be downloaded from the CPC website (http://cpc.colostate.edu), or you can request one be mailed to you. The Letter of Interest (150 words or less) should include a short bio and explain why you want to become a CPC Representative.
Step 4 – E-mail, mail, or deliver the nomination paperwork to the Office of the Vice President for University Operations (VPUO) by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 18, 2016.
