PACE was born in 2002. PACE is an acronym for Professional and Classified Staff and serves as an official voice to the College of Southern Idaho’s non-teaching, non-administrative employees.

Every professional and classified employee, both full and part time, are automatically members of PACE. From these members the various Reps for each building or dept. are chosen. This can be by vote, volunteer or rotation. Each building/dept. chooses the best method for their area. The 7 member Exec committee also comes from these members by the nomination and election process. The By-Laws explain several functions of PACE.

During December 2005, Carlos Bittencourt created the color scheme and layout of the PACE website. Recently Alex Mitchell has been tidying up the appearance of the site. PACE is grateful to all the hours both have spent making the site appealing and easy to navigate.
