Dear Colleague,
Our union elections wrapped up on Wednesday, May 21, and we’re pleased to introduce the excellent team that has been elected to lead our union into the coming year.
Please join us in congratulating all the new and ongoing university-wide officers, members of the Executive Council, and chapter leadership team members elected from each campus. (Only those newly elected to two-year terms running from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027 are listed below. Because our union holds staggered elections, some EC members, all chapter officers, and some chapter leadership team members will continue serving terms through next spring.)
