Get Involved

Serving on Councils / Committees

• Councilors are paid for their meeting and retreat time; they need to submit a time-sheet to the council coordinator.

• They represent and need to communicate Part-Time Faculty Association's position in the meetings.

• They need to report information to Vice President of Membership about the discussion/decisions at the meetings, as well as any topics for future meetings relevant to the interests of the Part-Time Faculty and the Association. (Most councils will send out an agenda at least a week before the meeting).

• They do not need a substitute if they are missing one or two meetings; if they miss more than two meetings, they need to look for replacement (the Vice President of Membership can help) and the replacement will get paid.

• Anyone can attend most meetings as an onlooker without being paid.
