Coffee and Cookies with CODAA!
On March 6 and 7, CODAA officers welcomed 52 members for coffee and cookies outside the CODAA office in the BIC building on COD’s main campus. Many conversations were had and some of these visitors are now newly active members. Due to the success, we will host another event again – so watch your emails.
We had five raffle winners who have been contacted about their prize packages. Those winners are:
Nancy Alaks
Loren Hilderbrand
Linda Lacey
Marla McGinnis
Steve Mecker
Prizes included gift cards, CODAA/IEA/NEA swag, and even a scarf. Items were donated by CODAA members. If you have any contacts or would like to donate a prize for a future raffle, please contact a CODAA officer or drop by the office.
Thank you for being our most important resource.

Upcoming CODAA Events
Dear Members:
I want to provide you with some important information. I hope you can join us at one or more of the events listed below.
1. Coffee and Cookies with CODAA: We will be serving coffee and cookies outside the CODAA office on Wednesday, March 6th and Thursday, March 7th (see attached flyer). We invite you to stop by for refreshments, chat with CODAA officers, and ask any questions you might have about CODAA and the benefits you receive as a member.
2. COD Board of Trustees Candidate Forum: CODAA will once again be hosting a non-partisan Candidate Forum to give faculty, staff, students, and community members an opportunity to hear from the candidates running for the Board of Trustees (flyers attached). If you live in district 502,we encourage you to attend this event on March 18th so you can hear the candidate’s positions and ask questions that will help you make an informed decision on who to vote for before the election. As CODAA co-sponsors this event with the Student Leadership Council, you might want to consider, if appropriate, offering extra credit to students who attend the forum.
3. Return your CODAA Election Ballots: If you are an active member, you should have received ballots to vote for CODAA officers and NEA Representative Assembly Delegates. Please be sure to mail in your ballots before the March 12th deadline.
4. Spring Membership Meeting: Save the Date! We will be holding our Spring 2019 Membership meeting on April 17th. Watch for details later this month.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Baunbach-Caplan
CODAA President
BE INVOLVED WITH YOUR UNION — DELEGATES NEEDED FOR IEA REPRESENTATIVE ASSEMBLY
We are looking for candidates to run for Delegate to the Illinois Education Association Representative Assembly. The RA will be held April 11 – 13, 2019 in Rosemont, Illinois. Learn more about the IEA RA at: https://ieanea.org/events/iea-representative-assembly/
CODAA will elect three delegates to represent our members and their interests. Delegates will participate in plenary and breakout sessions. After the RA, the delegates will prepare and submit a report to the CODAA Executive Board. Funds will be available to defray delegate’s expenses.
Delegates to previous RA’s have reported that it is an informative and enjoyable weekend. It provides an opportunity to network with your peers from other institutions. Participation is a good way to learn about the issues and challenges that face CODAA, higher education, and the education community in general. I would encourage young academics in particular to consider this form of professional development and service to our profession.
To nominate yourself as a candidate to be a delegate from CODAA, simply fill out the attached nomination form and return it to [email protected]. Nominations need to be submitted by 6:00 P.M. on November 6, 2018. The election will be held by postal ballot with all votes due not later than December 4.
Sincerely,
Bill Enright
Election Chair
