Office Descriptions
The Vice President acts in the absence of the President, as the presiding official of the Union and the Executive Board, and shall assist in the duties of the President.
Term: Two years, Fall 2020 – Fall 2022
The Treasurer is responsible for the collection of all Union monies, and for the discharge of all financial obligations of the Union. The Treasurer presents an annual financial report, and in consultation with the President, prepares an annual budget for consideration of the Executive Board. The Treasurer makes available the financial records to any member, provided that adequate notice is given. The Treasurer annually presents the books of the Union for an audit or review by a Certified Public Accountant, who is not a member of the collective bargaining unit. The Treasurer may delegate any of these duties to the Executive Director of the Union, but such delegation does not vitiate the Treasurer’s responsibility to ensure their proper discharge.
Term: Two years, Fall 2020 – Fall 2022
Executive Board Member-at-Large acts for the Union in carrying out its purposes - to promote the interests of higher education, to advance the standards, ideals, and welfare of the profession, and to serve as the collective bargaining agent for the faculty and academic staff of the University. The Executive Board regularly meets to review and vote on Union policy in the interests of Union members.
Term: Two years, Fall 2020 – Fall 2022
