Hello AAAFSC Members,
Two of our wonderful board members, Vice-Chair Soonhee Lee, and council member-at-large, Aditya Desai have left UMBC.
We need faculty and staff to participate on the board to run the organization. We have received no bios so far, so if you're interested, but hesitating, please don't!
We are so grateful for their leadership of AAAFSC, and are seeking to elect their replacements by the end of the semester.
Please consider running for Vice-Chair OR Member-At Large. Please note, the board currently has no representation from staff nor from CNMS or COEIT.
The Vice-Chair responsibilities include:
- Running the election of AAAFSC Executive Board members.
- Helping the chair set and draft the agenda for Executive Board meetings and membership meetings.
- Assisting chair in drafting, coordinating, and sending communications with Executive Board and membership.
- Collating information and data on Asian and Asian American faculty and staff within the university so that it may be shared with the membership with help from the chair.
- Assisting the Chair’s other responsibilities as needed.
The Vice-Chair also receives yearly compensation of $1000 for the duration of their term.
At large council members
Aid in the recruitment and outreach of new members across the colleges and among staff.
Assist in AAAFSC programming and coordinating tasks as needed.
The At Large Council Members receive yearly compensation of $450 for the duration of their term.
