  • Professionalism - Through a combination of qualities, including, but not limited to appearance, demeanor, reliability, accountability, competence, ethics, and effective communication.

YCSA is the acronym for Yavapai College Staff Association.

Membership is open to all full-time and regular part-time staff (please refer to HR policy 2.2.1 – Employee Classification and Status) of Yavapai College to have a voice in YCSA matters. They may vote, serve as officers, and are eligible for various committees.

YCSA provides a forum for staff to discuss and promote ideas for the well-being of its members.

The elected representatives of the YCSA are meeting to provide organizational Bylaws for members to review and adopt as well as provide tools for staff success through peer mentoring.

Currently, the representatives are meeting twice an academic year, usually held during Employee Day in the fall and spring. Meetings are run under the general Robert’s Rules of Order according to the adopted Bylaws.

YCSA assists with planning & supporting the First Friday Training Sessions. Welcoming new employees is also an area of support provided by YCSA. The building of this website, which is updated through the Webpage Designer, is another action the members have taken.

  • Ginney Bilbray- Vice President
  • Susanne Baker- Treasurer
