ERAC is charged with promoting good employee relations. The committee explores issues such as communications, staff enrichment, and social functions.

Nine representatives from the nonexempt staff and eight from the exempt staff serve on ERAC. Several of the staff positions are filled by a campus-wide election each year. There is one non-voting ex-officio member of ERAC representing Human Resources. In addition, if the outgoing Chairperson is not re-elected or not eligible for re-election, he/she will serve as an ex-officio member to provide continuity.

You may contact committee representatives with ideas or suggestions to enhance the University environment or improve work relationships.

For additional information and contact names go to the ERAC webpage.

REACH: Resources to Engage, Accomplish, Connect, & Help

ERAC is launching an interdepartmental and university-wide program aimed at fostering professional relationships and networks among faculty and staff. By connecting Lehigh employees with each other and providing opportunities to learn about the university, REACH seeks to advance multiple goals of Lehigh's strategic plan, including investing in faculty and staff, as well as the university's core values and the aims of the Council on Equity and Community. Additional information is available on the ERAC website.

Due to overwhelming interest, we are at capacity for the REACH cohorts starting in October. However, we are anticipating launching additional cohorts in January 2012. If you would like to participate in January 2012, please be sure to sign up by October 14, 2011.
