Dear Colleagues:
As part of the University’s ongoing commitment to provide affordable, high-quality benefits, we are seeking new members for the Employee Benefits Assessment Council (EBAC). The council has become an important component of the University’s benefits decision-making process, and we are now looking to fill positions as current members complete their terms.
About the EBAC
The EBAC, chaired by Maxwell School Professor of Practice Emeritus Thomas Dennison, meets regularly throughout the year (including during the summer) to address, explore and assess University benefits and to evaluate and provide input into decisions about any changes to existing benefits. The council reports to the University’s Administrative Benefits Committee in collaboration with Human Resources leadership. Council members gather input from the University community through various channels and provide recommendations on benefit options, changes and improvements to University leaders involved in making final decisions.
Staff and Faculty Representative Selection
The council includes faculty and staff representing a broad range of perspectives. We are seeking both faculty and staff members through a self-nomination process. Any faculty or staff member in good standing is eligible and invited to apply. For those interested in being considered, please complete the online application.
Key Dates
- Deadline to submit applications: Friday, Dec. 5, 2025
- Representative notification: Selected representatives will be notified by mid-December
- First meeting: To be scheduled by the chair in early 2026
The EBAC plays a vital role in ensuring that faculty and staff voices are well represented in benefits decisions. I encourage you to consider applying for this meaningful opportunity to be engaged in University decision-making.

Sincerely,
Alex Dietrich
Interim Chief Human Resources Officer
