LGBTQ FSA Leadership Elections 26/27
Hello all!
The time has come to elect new leadership for the LGBTQ FSA. If you have not heard, I have accepted a new position at another university and will be leaving UMBC. While this is bittersweet, I trust the work of the LGBTQ FSA will continue to shine and grow. Any questions about elections should be directed to Keith Bowman and Tim Phin as they will be carrying the torch until we have elected new leadership.
There are TWO positions available, President and Staff Co-Chair. Keith Bowman will remain as Faculty Co-Chair for another year as leadership positions are on a two-year appointment. There is a small amount of funding available for leadership to account for the additional workload. This does change year to year and as the budget is not decided for 2026-2027, but leadership positions often receive ~$1500-$3000 as a stipend or professional development funds (tbd on amount and method).
Nominations are available NOW through May 15th. Please use this Google form to nominate someone (or yourself!) for a leadership position.
Elections will begin 5/23 once nominations are collected. To vote, make sure to request to join the LGBTQ FSA Member Group.
All the best,
Gavin
