CTU Elections
CTs have the
opportunity every year to choose which of their fellow
members will help lead our Union. In even numbered years,
CTs choose a Vice President, Secretary and four Directors to
the Executive Board. In odd numbers years, we choose the
President, Treasurer and three Director positions. If
a Board member has stepped down during his or her two-year
term of office, we will also vote on someone to fill out the
remainder of that term.
We
also elect a member to the Audit Committee every year for a
three-year term. If an Audit Committee member has
stepped down during his or her term of office, we will also
vote on someone to fill out the remainder of that term.
Our
elections are overseen by an Elections Committee and
governed by our Constitution. See Article
IV - Officers, Nominations, and Elections.
Know who you’re
voting for
The
Elections Committee works hard to make sure that all CTU
members have the opportunity to get to know the candidates.
Statements from the candidates are published in the October
special elections issue of the CT News. Special
forums are set up and announced so that we can meet the
candidates and ask questions. Members are also
encouraged to contact candidates directly.

qualities you should look for in your elected leaders? See
"Expectations
of CTU Executive Board
Officers and Audit Committee Members"
