Nomination of Representatives

Fall 2006

Each year, half of the 14 units of UAF Staff Council are elected by the staff. The terms are for two years and even numbered units begin serving January of an even year (e.g. 2006) and odd units begin serving on January of an odd numbered year (e.g. 2005). Units have been established to match the organizational structure of UAF. Staff Council is one means we have to address staff issues in the workplace here at the Fairbanks campus. While the role of Staff Council is advisory, we can have an impact on our working conditions and contribute to the university community.

Staff Council is now taking nominations for the odd units to begin serving January 2007. UAF Staff Council representatives must be permanent full-time or permanent part-time non-faculty, non-student employees. University employees who hold executive appointments are not eligibile. There is one representative for each 50 staff members, so some larger units have more than one representative. There is also an alternate representative for each representative that serves to make sure that each unit is adequately represented.

To nominate an individual, you should select the form for your unit, make sure the person you are nominating wants to serve and that their supervisor signs the form. Serving on Staff Council is considered university business and adequate time is supported by Regents policy.

Signed nomination forms should be sent or delivered to the Governance Office, located in Signers Hall Rm. 312 / Box 7500 / fax 474-5213. Nominations should be received by 5:00 pm, Nov. 3, 2006. If you are sending a nominations form by mail (intercampus or otherwise) at the last minute, please let us know at 474-7056 or fystaff@uaf.edu.

Elections will take place during the month of November. While we have been working on having on-line balloting, this election will be held by paper ballots distributed by your payroll office. You will receive an email from Staff Council announcing elections and should receive a ballot shortly thereafter.
