Dear Members,
TUFA’s 2024/25 Nominating and Elections Committee is pleased to open nominations for elected positions on the Executive Committee in accordance with Article VIII of TUFA’s Constitution. Contested positions will be decided by election with a mailing date of Monday, April 14th. Completed nomination forms must be received by the Secretary (c/o the TUFA Office) on or before March 28th.
Nominations are to be made for specific positions on the Executive and require two signatures (nominator and candidate). During the pandemic, we modified our processes so that an open email chain can substitute for physical signatures as proof of intent. A Nominator completing their portion of the attached form should email it to the prospective candidate who – if willing to stand – would complete the form and forward it to the Association with open copy to the Nominator. This year we are seeking nominations for President (1-year term), Treasurer (2-year term), Secretary (2-year term), and one elected Member-at-Large (2-year term). Members interested in standing for election are encouraged to ask members of the Nominating and Elections Committee for additional information. This year’s Committee members are Moira Howes (Chair), Bruce Cater, Marina Morgenshtern, Ellen Olsen-Lynch, and Robin Quantick.
In addition to securing candidates for the Executive Committee, the Nominating and Elections Committee has been tasked with overseeing our internal John Fekete Award which recognizes outstanding service to the Trent University Faculty Association, its members, or the academic profession generally. If you are interested in nominating a colleague (current or retired) for this award, please contact TUFA’s Executive Director for additional information.
On behalf of the Nominating and Elections Committee,
Moira
