Dear fellow faculty,
Thank you for all you do to support the union. Please consider participating in our nomination and voting process over the next few weeks. Here’s the timeline:
Nominations: We are accepting nominations for the following Executive Committee positions: President, Vice-President for each campus, Treasurer, and Secretary. The nominations period will end on Friday, May 6. Please consider nominating an appropriate candidate for a position. Self-nominations are welcome. More information about our nomination and voting process is available in our Constitution, which you can find on the MC-AAUP website. Please send your nominations to Julie Levinson, julie.levinson@montgomerycollege.edu
Please find the linked description of each open Executive Committee position: President, Vice-President for each campus, Treasurer, and Secretary. Any AAUP member collegewide may nominate someone for the positions of President, Treasurer, and Secretary. Only AAUP members on a particular campus may nominate someone for their respective campus Vice-President position. Please check with the person you would like to nominate before sending their name forward.
Voting: After the nomination process, you will have the opportunity to vote for the officers who will represent you. This step does not take much time, but is one of the most significant actions you might take for the union because you are choosing your leadership. Electronic voting will begin on May 12 and will end on May 17.
End-of-the-year meeting, May 18, by Zoom. The results of the election will be announced at this closing meeting. Your attendance at the year’s-end meeting is not only an opportunity to receive crucial information and vote on contract-related issues, but your participation is also a marker of an engaged membership.
Thank you again for all that you do for our college, for our students, and for our chapter.
In solidarity and on behalf of the chapter,
Michael LeBlanc, PhD
Acting Treasurer, AAUP, MC Chapter
