CCRI Staff Assembly Elections-2024

What is my expected role as a Staff Assembly representative?

Staff Assembly representatives are expected to:

  • represent their constituents’ interest (by division) and bring their voice to the table for discussion during Assembly meetings
  • attend all Staff Assembly 90-minute monthly meetings (and special meetings as needed)
  • serve as a member on at least one of the Assembly’s six standing committees
  • act as ambassadors and communication liaisons to increase awareness of Assembly work among staff and administrators
  • attend Assembly annual training retreat

How long is the representative term of service?

Per Assembly's Constitution and By-Laws, Staff Assembly Representatives will be elected for two-year terms. Staff Assembly membership will start on September 1st of the appointed term.

How much time am I expected to allocate to Assembly work as a representative?

On average, Assembly work and meetings span around approximately 6 hours per month.

How many seats are there on the Staff Assembly?

There are 30 seats allocated for representatives to serve on the Staff Assembly. To ensure equitable representation across divisions, we allow for 1 representative to serve on the Assembly for every 14 employees in a division. This creates the following breakdown for the 2024 election:

  • 2 Seats for Academic Affairs
  • 4 Seats for Administration and Finance
  • 1 Seat for Information Technology
  • 2 Seats for the President's Division
  • 6 Seats for Student Affairs
  • 1 Seat for Workforce Partnerships

Do I have to be a full-time CCRI staff to serve on the Assembly?

There are two types of seats on the Staff Assembly:

  • Full-time staff representatives across college divisions are voting members with full-voting rights on both the Assembly as a whole as well as its Standing Committees.
  • Part-time staff representatives (total 6 available vacancies- one per division) may serve as Ex-Officio members on the Assembly and participate in meetings and discussions. These, only have voting rights on the Assembly’s Standing Committees.

Do I need my supervisor’s permission to serve on the Assembly?

To ensure that staff serving on the Assembly have the time to honor their commitment, we encourage interested staff to have a conversation with their supervisors prior to accepting their nomination. We want to ensure that your work on the Assembly is fully supported by your department.

If I am interested, where can I get more information about the Assembly’s work?

Please reach out to the Staff Assembly at [email protected] for more information.
