The vital relationship between our member schools and the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ depends in large part on the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Faculty Councilor at each school. This person provides an essential role regionally as a representative at ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ business meetings; in the nomination of colleagues for service in ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ or collateral organizations; as a liaison between the national office and their school; and as administrator of their school’s vote on official ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ business. Faculty councilors are the primary contact for the distribution of ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ materials, publications, and communications. In short, the service of a school’s councilor is critical to the success of ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ and its programs.

Who Are Faculty Councilors?
Each ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ full-member school elects a Faculty Councilor to represent their school. Faculty councilors are faculty members who are elected by their faculties for a three-year term, and may be reelected for one additional three-year term. Duties of the faculty councilor include determining the vote of the member school on official Association business; serving as liaison between their school and both the national office and their regional director; participating in the regional council and soliciting student opinion from his/her school. Faculty councilors or a designee are expected to attend the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Annual Business Meeting (held at the Annual Meeting) and the Business Lunch (held at the Administrators Conference or via conference call).
