Delegates to the union’s 2007 Spring Delegate Assembly will elect three statewide
officers and eight Executive Board members.
Delegates will cast their ballots for president, secretary and membership development
officer in addition to electing board members. If the membership ratio of
academics to professionals remains the same as the present ratio, of the 11
people to be elected, seven must be academics and four must be professionals
from any chapter type. If the ratio changes, elections will be adjusted
accordingly.
In accordance with DA policy, candidates running for statewide elective positions
may have statements printed in The Voice,
which is mailed to all bargaining unit members. The following provisos apply:
• Candidates may submit a statement of up to 500 words and a photo for
publication in The Voice. If a
candidate wishes to submit a lengthier statement, it will be set in smaller
type to give all candidates equal space.
• Candidate statements must be typed and double-spaced. Candidates are encouraged
to submit statements by e-mail or on computer disk, accompanied by a typed
copy. The Voice can accept files in
Microsoft Word, Word Perfect and DOS-Text.
• Statements and photos must be received at the UUP Administrative Office, P.O. Box 15143, Albany,
N.Y. 12212-5143,
by the close of business Monday, March 5.
• Candidate statements will be published by order of election and in alphabetical
order in even-numbered years and reverse alphabetical order in odd-numbered
years.
• All materials must be supplied by the candidate and will not be returned.
The issue of The Voice containing statements will be
mailed prior to the 2007 Spring DA.
A delegates/alternates of record mailing list is also available to candidates,
who may receive one copy each.
Requests must be made in writing to UUP Secretary Eileen Landy, between Feb. 12 and
April 6. The list will be mailed to the candidate’s address of record unless
specified otherwise in the request. Lists will not be sent by fax or e-mail.
