Nominations are being sought for a Support Staff Assessor and an Alternate Assessor on the Board of Governors, each for a two year term commencing on June 1, 2017 and ending on May 31, 2019.

All full-time support staff are eligible to be elected and to vote, and will be mailed a nomination form and information regarding the position and the election process.  The nomination form must be signed by five support staff members and by the nominee to signify his/her acceptance of the nomination, and returned to the Office of the University Secretary, 312 Administration Building, by 12:00 noon on Friday, April 28, 2017.

Ballots will be mailed to all full-time support staff members on Friday, May 5 with the deadline for receipt of ballots being 12:00 noon on Friday, May 19, 2017.  Ballots will be counted and the results announced on May 23.  The Assessor will be the nominee who receives the highest number of votes.  The Alternate Assessor will be the nominee who receives the second highest number of votes.
