Sat, Nov 16, 10am – hybrid on zoom and in-person

The 2024 Governing Board (GB) Election Meeting will be at 10am on November 16 in a hybrid format at the CCNY Center for Worker Education (25 Broadway, 9th floor) and on Zoom. 

Here are some things for all members to keep in mind:

Eligibility to Vote:

Only paid up members of the New Caucus in good standing can vote.

Eligible members attending in-person will receive a voting card at the beginning of the meeting that they will need to hold up in order to receive a ballot. Members eligible to vote in person include past members who have been dues paying members of the New Caucus in previous years, and have paid their dues for 2024-2025 as of Nov 16 (therefore they can pay at the Nov 16 NC meeting).

Eligible voting members attending remotely via Zoom include past members who have been dues paying members of the New Caucus in previous years, and have paid their dues electronically via Paypal for 2024-2025 as of Nov 11 or paid their dues by snail mail for 2024-2025 as of Nov 1. Renewing members who pay their dues after Nov 11 will be permitted into the Zoom as observers but will not be eligible to cast a vote.

To join/rejoin and pay, go to the membership form.

The Nomination Process:

Nominations (including self-nominations) will be accepted from the floor during the election meeting. At that meeting, nominees must either accept their nomination or must have communicated their acceptance to the Coordinating Committee prior to the meeting. Nominees will be given the opportunity to talk for two minutes about their vision for the Governing Board. All nominees must be members in good standing of the New Caucus on the day of the meeting.

For this election, the Coordinating Committee will also be opening up a space on the New Caucus website for publishing candidate statements and information. If you are interested in publicizing your candidacy, please do the following by October 31:

1. Write to the Coordinating Committee at psccunynewcaucus@gmail.com and let them know of your intention to run.
2. Submit to the Coordinators a statement that describes your candidacy, and includes your title, department and campus affiliation.
3. Submit a picture of yourself suitable for posting on the New Caucus website.
