Election materials are now available for staff members interested in running for membership on the Employee Assembly (EA) for the 2011-12 academic year. Following a recent resolution approved by President David Skorton, the EA is increasing its membership size from 13 to 19 representatives to assure better campus staff representation, address the diverse viewpoints of the staff community and gain broader committee involvement in reaching EA goals.

Six current members of the EA will return for another term; the additional seats will result in a total of 13 open seats.

Former contract college and endowed restrictions have also been removed.

Interested candidates should fill out a candidacy statement online. Candidates are strongly encouraged to attend a campaign meeting on either March 23 or 29 at 12:15 p.m., 316 Day Hall. Voting runs April 11-22 and will be available online at the EA website.
