LAUC President’s Theme:

Based on the current LAUC President’s theme, consider devising workshops or discussions groups for LAUC-LA members. Working with the LAUC-LA Committee on Programs, the LAUC-LA Committee on Professional Governance, and the LAUC-LA Representative to the LAUC Committee on Professional Governance (TBD), the Statewide Representatives will participate in the organization of programs, brown bag sessions or other activities to gather input from LAUC-LA members.

LAUC Assembly:

Because the LAUC Statewide Assembly will be at UCLA, the Representatives may have a greater role at the meeting.

The Statewide Representatives will be responsible for keeping the LAUC-LA membership up to date about the issues covered by LAUC Statewide, and will submit a summary report to the Executive Board in advance of the LAUC-LA Spring Meeting and the LAUC Assembly. At the LAUC Assembly in Spring 2013, the Statewide Representatives will present the viewpoints of LAUC-LA members and report back to the LAUC-LA membership after the Assembly.
