SOCCCD Faculty Association Election Announcement

Colleagues,

The Faculty Association Representative Council has opened nominations for officers and representatives for the 2006-2008, and approved a timeline for the election.  In the election, which will be held on-line during the last week of April (Monday, April 24 through Friday, April 28th), the following seats will be filled for two-year terms:

• President elect
• Secretary
• Treasurer
• Representatives for each school and division

In addition, a proposed revision of the Faculty Association Bylaws will be up for adoption.  The proposed draft of the bylaws, approved by the Representative Council for recommendation to the general membership, are available for review by clicking on the link below.

FA revised bylaws, draft, April 2006

If you wish to be considered for one of the open seats, or to be the Association Representative for your division or school, please forward a letter of intent to the Elections Committee (an e-mail response to this address will be adequate), which we will acknowledge within 72 hours.  The nomination period closes on April 9th, and all letters of intent should be posted by that date.

Only Faculty Association members may be nominated for offices, and only members may vote in the election.

Please make sure that your division or school nominates candidates for the Faculty Association Representative Council.  It's essential for the continued fair and open operation of the Association that all of the faculty members are able to participate in its decisions.

Feel free to e-mail Bill Billingsley at bbillingsle@saddleback.edu if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

The Faculty Association Elections Committee
