Members may be nominated (or nominate themselves) as candidates and then are elected into office. (https://usenate.asu.edu/about/shared-governance)
Faculty are also represented at the Arizona Board of Regents by the chair of the Arizona Faculties Council – the coordinating body for the faculty governments of the three universities.

The purpose and mission of the ASU Staff Council is to serve as a voice for university staff, to advise the President of ASU on the working climate, and to raise issues and concerns of university staff.

Part 4. Community engagement bodies
Yes
A brief description of the campus-community council or equivalent body that gives external stakeholders a regular voice in institutional decisions that affect them:
ASU's Community Council helps to embed ASU in the community, identify issues and opportunities for engagement and solutions.
For example, Community Council member Child Crisis Arizona raised the issue of how to connect with ASU units that focus on foster youth to engage around solutions for post-secondary opportunities and financial aid. Through the Council, Child Crisis Arizona was connected with ASU's Bridging Success program for foster youth and with First Star ASU Academy, a program that supports foster youth access to a four-year education.
