| Chair-Elect | Rebecca Howell, inaugural Chair Elect of the Employee Forum, graduated from UNC School of Law in 2020, after a 20 year career in higher ed. Instead of going into practice, she realized her heart was still with students and employees in higher education and she is currently the Director of Global Opportunities at Carolina Law. Carolina has definitely captured her heart but she is also a proud graduate of UNC Asheville and Western Carolina University. A fierce advocate of public education accessibility for all, she has spent her career working in student services in higher ed, including 14 years at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College as Director of Student Advising and Support Services. She is the proud mom of a brave non-binary middle schooler and two rather large felines, who believe Zoom is an opportunity to show their enthusiasm for participating in Carolina activities. She began serving on the Employee Forum in 2022 and is excited to be working with Katie Musgrove to learn the ropes of leading an organization that does so much to ensure staff at UNC Chapel Hill have a voice. She is looking forward to assisting in creating positive change in the years ahead! |

| Secretary | My name is Tiffany Carver and I am a Tar Heel! I’m a wife, mother of a beautiful daughter, and full-time employee here at UNC. I’ve worked at the University since February 2007. I’m also an alum of Carolina and truly embrace the "Carolina Way." I love working on this campus and currently work in the Office of Academic & Student Affairs at the School of Social Work. I have served on the Employee Forum previously (serving on both the Executive and Education and Career Development committees)and I am excited to be the Forum’s secretary. I really appreciate the experiences and connections established through being a forum delegate. I recognize the important work that the Forum does and my interest in advocacy work drives my interest in being part of the forum so that I may help better the experience that employees (especially staff) have working for UNC. Being more engaged in the University community is something that I strive to do and I feel the Forum provides lots of opportunities to do so.
