The Staff Council President for this fiscal year is Martin Klein, associate director of UAF Transportation & Parking Services.

Martin Klein has worked at the University as Associate Director of Transportation and Parking Services since March 2005.  Prior to coming to the university he spent twenty-five years in the private sector managing parking operations.  He has managed on and off-street operations and airport facilities. He also owned two auto glass franchises in Fairbanks that he recently sold.

Born and raised in Alaska, and son of emeritus professor Dr. David Klein, Martin is an enthusiastic supporter of the university throughout the Fairbanks community and firmly believes staff council can be effective at improving working conditions to help make UAF a truly great place to work.
