UA Officer Elections

We have elections for six officer positions this year, with nominations due by March 23, 2026. All members in good standing* are eligible to serve as officers and nominate other members in good standing. Self-nominations are also permitted. If you’re interested in running, our current board members are happy to talk to you and answer your questions. As always, you can contact UA staff with any questions at info@uauoregon.org.

Open positions:

The Executive Council (EC) is the primary leadership body of United Academics with a focus on initiating, overseeing, or revising the program of your union. The open Executive Council positions, elected in even years, are listed with the current board member so you can contact them with your questions.

Executive Vice President (Epstein)
Treasurer (Miller)
VP for NTTF Affairs (Wakefield)
VP of Diversity and Equity (Wolf)
Chair of the Grievance and Contract Administration (Howard)
Chair of the Politics Committee (Mann)

Officer Elections:

To be nominated to be an officer, a member in good standing needs the signature of 10 other members in good standing. Please complete and submit this form directly to the union hall staff at 603 East 13th or email it to info@uauoregon.org. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

In the event there is only one nominee for each position after nominations have closed and prior to ballot distribution, that nominee will be considered elected by acclamation and no ballot vote will be held. In the event of a ballot election, a notice of election will be mailed to the last known home address of each chapter member.

Nomination notices for officers must be received by 4:59 pm on March 23, 2026.

*A member in good standing is defined as a bargaining unit member who has been actively employed by the university in a bargaining unit position at any time during the last twelve months, has signed a union membership card, and either pays regular membership dues while employed by the university or pays a $10 per month membership dues fee when not employed by the university.
