Brock University’s Board of Trustees is seeking one new ongoing staff representative to serve a three-year term on the Board.

The general bylaws of the Board of Trustees specify that the Board shall include two ongoing staff members, elected by the ongoing staff of the University, serving staggered three-year terms.

As of July 1, 2017, there will be one ongoing staff vacancy on the Board.

The University Secretariat will hold elections in May to select one representative from the ongoing staff for a three-year term commencing July 1, 2017.

All ongoing staff of the University are eligible to serve, except those who report directly to the President or to a Vice-President.

Nomination forms are available on the University Secretariat election website.

The nomination form must be signed by at least three members of the ongoing staff and the nominee.

The nomination form must be submitted in person, by interoffice mail or by e-mail to universitysecretary@brocku.ca, no later than 4:30 p.m. Friday, April 28.

The Office of the University Secretariat is located in ST1107.

The election will be done by electronic voting, with the exception of those without an active e-mail address, who will receive a paper ballot.

Voting will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 10 and will close at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 24.

All eligible voters will receive an e-mail to their Brock e-mail account with a link to a secure electronic ballot. Those without an active e-mail account will receive a paper ballot which must be returned to the Office of the University Secretariat.

Each voter may vote for one candidate as there is only one vacancy.  The candidate leading the poll will be declared elected to the three-year term.

Contact Chabriol Colebatch, Secretary to the University, at ext. 3335 if you have any questions.
