FEC Standing Committee Seats and New Volunteer Form

Dear Colleagues,

First, a huge thank you to all who served on standing committees and participated in other service opportunities over the past academic year. This institution and our model of shared governance relies on our members’ commitment and service to the College.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2024-2025 standing committee elections. See the updated Standing Committee Membership webpage for the winners of the upcoming year's election cycle.

If you are not currently holding a seat on a standing committee but are interested in volunteering to fill a vacant seat, please complete the Volunteer Survey. Follow the prompts to determine your eligibility and to indicate which committee(s) you have an interest in serving. Note that the volunteer list is new each year, so you will need to complete this form even if you previously submitted the survey.
