MRFA Executive Nomination form plus corresponding job duties.

Hi everyone,

We are off & running once again with the following executive positions up
for election. Hope you had a great summer.

Regards Ellen

Addendum:  from Gerry Cross, MRFA Acting President.

The notice of MRFA Executive elections below was mailed on 25 August.
Further to this notice, a revised nomination form is attached. The changes
are:

  The initial term for the Academic Liaison Officer is one year. Executive
  positions have two year terms, except for the Part-Time Representative,
  with elections for some in odd-numbered years and for the others in
  even-numbered years. The Academic Liaison Officer is a new position with
  elections to be in odd-numbered years and, therefore, the initial term
  must be for one year.
  The Member-at-Large must be tenured (but the Academic Liaison Officer
  does not have to be).

Upcoming Elections

The MRFA Executive has begun its planning for the year, and the first step
is to fill two vacancies on Executive.  

The first is a Member-at-Large

to replace David Clemis, whose service and thoughtful analysis of problems
I've appreciated very much over the last year.  The Member-at-Large is
elected for a one-year term to support the Executive in years when we do
not have an Immediate Past President; the primary responsibility is to
serve on Exec and act as Chief Returning Officer for MRFA elections.  

The second is a new position, Academic Liaison Officer

to be elected for a two year term and to be responsible for coordinating communications among the
Faculty Councils and the General Faculties Council.  This position will be
supported by a new Academic Liaison Committee.  

Neither position has reassigned time attached.  

If you are interested in either position, please
contact David Clemis or Gerry Cross for information.  

Because Exec is short-handed to start the year, we plan to hold these elections on 10 and
11 September.  To facilitate this, please submit nominations by 4:30 pm,
Friday, 29 August. to Ellen Burdett and send a copy to David Clemis.
