Consider Serving on NOVA’s Forum Councils

The Elections and Credentials Committee is revving up for the March Forum Council elections, and we encourage you to consider serving on NOVA’s College Forum for the 2021-2022 academic year.

The College Forum is composed of the Forum Councils, the College Senate and the College committees. Forum Councils share a valuable role in representing and supporting our diverse campus communities and having a voice in important matters relevant to the College constituencies.

Forum Council Quick Facts:

• There is one council for each campus and one for College Staff not reporting to a campus.
• The councils represent full time and adjunct teaching faculty, administrative faculty, professional faculty, classified staff and students.
• One term is two years.
• Meetings are held once a month during the 9-month academic year (day/time varies by council).
• Forum Council members are also selected to serve in the College Senate. Senate meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. during the 9-month academic year.

If you missed it during spring convocation, check out what some current and former Forum Council members have said about serving.

We will be announcing a call for nominations soon so consider nominating yourself or encourage a colleague to run. For questions, email your Elections and Credentials representative listed below.
