Association Representatives
The roles and resources of the building representatives
The roles and resources of the building representatives
Each school elects one faculty member (two in larger schools) to be the school’s designated Association Representative (“AR” or sometimes called Building Rep).
That faculty member is the go-to person for any questions or concerns for the Association, and acts as a guide for teachers to get access to the resources they need.
The AR attends the monthly AR meeting where they receive information that they pass on to the faculty at their school.
If you do not know who your building representative is, reach out to either the board member who has your school as a liaison school, or the administrative assistant.
New to being an Association Representative, or want to know more about your role? Check out this document, the AR Reference Guide.
This guide details how to go about being your building's representative, specifically:
how to navigate difficult situations
what to do if a member has a concern that needs addressing
what your role is during any type of disciplinary action against a member
when to contact the UniServ Director or President
As always, if you have questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the board member that liaises with your school, or the UniServ Director.
When in doubt, reach out.
