Voting for Ad Hoc Advisory Appointment Committee Open Until Oct. 8!

October 6, 2020 / Faculty/Staff Highlights

Nominations are in for the Ad Hoc Advisory Appointment Committee, and now it is time to cast your vote for who will represent you! Voting ends at midnight on Oct. 8!

Cast your vote for either Professional Faculty or teaching Faculty. 

The ad hoc Appointment Advisory Committee provides information and advice for the president’s consideration on all faculty members eligible for three- and five-year appointments.

We are requesting volunteers to slate a ballot of teaching faculty, counselors and librarians to be elected to serve on the ad hoc Appointment Advisory Committee. Nominations are now open through midnight Wednesday, Sept. 30.  

Teaching and professional faculty will vote for their constituents on the committee. Voting will be open Oct. 1 through Oct. 8 and the committee will be announced Oct. 12. If you would like to self-nominate, please send your name to Donna Minnich, dminnich@nvcc.edu.  We will work with Human Resources to confirm your eligibility and then work with OIR to put your name on the ballot. 

The work of the committee will occur primarily between Nov. 1, 2020 and Jan. 10, 2021 but may extend to Jan. 31. The College is on holiday from Dec. 24 through Jan. 1, during which time the committee would not meet.  

To volunteer for this committee, you should be a full-time teaching or professional faculty who is:

  • in a three- or five-year appointment AND
  • NOT under review for a three- or five-year appointment AND
  • willing to commit to this process between November 1 and January 31.

This will be a very hardworking committee. According to VCCS policy, every faculty member who is eligible for a three- or five-year appointment must have their information reviewed by this committee after evaluation by the supervising dean.

For more information on this process and the VCCS policy, please review section 3.4.0.4 of the VCCS Policy Manual available Here.
