The Council of Councils is a conference for members of civil service councils at Illinois public universities. It is hosted by a different university each year. Attendees get the latest news on state legislation and enjoy opportunities for professional development and networking.
The idea for the conference came from a meeting between representatives from NIU and Chicago State University at Governors State University in 1996. The group discussed topics such as working conditions and employee benefits at their institutions. They found the meeting to be enlightening and decided to extend it to senate and council members at all 12 state universities. The first Council of Councils was hosted by the NIU Operating Staff Council in 1997.
