Your Thoughts?
 How many have thought about running for an Executive
Committee position?
 What are some reasons why faculty do not serve on a
committee, task force, or advisory group?
 Why don’t people run for the Executive Committee ?
 How can the Executive Committee encourage more diverse
faculty to volunteer?
Discussion about Bylaws Change
 Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California
Community Colleges explore and, potentially propose a
bylaws change that would expand the pool of faculty eligible
to run for positions on the Academic Senate for California
Community Colleges Executive Committee; and
 Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California
Community Colleges investigate new methods to increase
the pools of faculty seeking membership on committees,
identifying ways to recruit all faculty and to address
misperceptions that discourage faculty from seeking to serve
at both the local and state levels.
