Meet Rachel Spence, Staff Senate Vice Chair

I am excited to serve as Vice Chair during my second term as a Staff Senator. I initially joined the Senate in 2022 as the at-large senator while working remotely from California. In 2024 I returned to Northern Virginia and was re-elected to represent the Fairfax campus. I was honored to be elected to the Vice Chair position by my fellow Senators in December 2024.

During my (almost) 8 years at George Mason, I have seen the Staff Senate as a valuable campus resource, not only for advocacy purposes, but also for fostering connections and creating a supportive and inclusive environment for all staff, regardless of their location. As Vice Chair, I am committed to supporting professional development, well-being, and work-life balance initiatives to enhance the overall staff experience at George Mason University. I hope I can provide the leadership needed to continue the good work of the Staff Senate in creating a thriving, engaged community that reflects the university’s values and mission.

If you have any questions, problems, or concerns and would like the support of the Staff Senate, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly or use the Staff Senate contact form. I look forward to working with you, supporting you, and advocating for you!
