Staff Senate Election - Call for Nominations
If you are interested in joining a team on campus dedicated to staff support, education, growth and appreciating ETSU employees, Staff Senate may be right for you! Staff Senators are elected by their peers to represent the interests of and give a voice to colleagues in their EEO classifications. Senators serve a three-year term and, through their service, contribute positively to our work experience.
To nominate yourself or a colleague for Staff Senate, complete the online nomination
form by 5 p.m. on Friday, June 28, 2024. Candidates who have been nominated by another
staff member will be contacted to ensure their willingness to participate in the election
process, and serve on the Staff Senate. All candidates must have approval and support
to serve from their supervisor.
Nominations are requested for the following open seats:
- EEOC3 (Professional Non-Faculty) - 6 vacant positions
- EEOC4 (Clerical/Secretarial) - 3 vacant positions
- EEOC5 (Technical and Paraprofessional) - 2 vacant positions
- EEOC7 (Maintenance) - 3 vacant positions
There are currently no vacancies in EE0C 1 – Executive, Administrative, Managerial
and EEOC 6 – Skilled Crafts. Not sure about an EEOC category? See a description of
the categories listed at the bottom of the Staff Senate webpage.
You can nominate as many individuals as you wish, and you may nominate yourself. Please submit your
nomination by Friday, June 28.
After the closing date of nominations – June 28, Human Resources will certify the
eligibility of the nominees. Nominees will then be notified and required to accept/decline,
along with obtaining supervisor approval and support to serve. Approved nominees will
then be placed on the ballot for the Elections held in July.
If you have any questions or need for more information, please feel free to contact
Elizabeth Thomas-Joseph, chair of the Elections Committee for Staff Senate, at thomasjoseph@etsu.edu.
Best to you,
David Finney
President, Staff Senate
