ELECTION NOTICE and CALL FOR CANDIDATES
FOR DELEGATE TO THE NEA REPRESENTATIVE ASSEMBLY
TO BE HELD IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN JUNE 30 — JULY 5, 2018
Two delegates will be selected by an election to be held Tuesday March 14.
- Candidate must be an IEA-NEA member of CODAA.
- Winners will represent CODAA members and our interests at the various plenaries and group sessions.
- Winners must make the commitment to go to Minneapolis and participate in both the daily IEA caucus and pertinent NEA sessions.
- In the event the winner cannot go, the runner-up/alternate will assume the responsibilities.
- The delegates will report (written or in person) on the activities and issues (such as resolutions, legislative platform and the NEA budget and bylaws) which are brought before the assembly to CODAA.
- There are funds available from the unit and from the region to cover expenses.
On Wednesday, December 6th, CODAA filed a grievance on behalf of affected members over the electronic Adjunct Availability form. We shared the concerns many of you have regarding the inability of the form to adequately reflect your availability, campus/satellite location, and other information pertinent to requesting an assignment. While CODAA supports the use of an electronic availability form to facilitate the uniformity of the course assignment process across departments, which may permit earlier notification of assignments, we do not view the current form as being adequate, particularly as the language in our contract (insisted upon by the College) states:
“The College will determine faculty member availability based solely (emphasis added) on the information initially submitted on the College-provided availability sheet prior to the submission deadline.”
