Hi all,

We are soliciting nominations of NASPA members to serve as the next Chair, or Co-chairs, for NASPA’s Knowledge Community: Undocumented Immigrants and Allies. The Undocumented Immigrants and Allies KC Chair is elected for a three-year term: one year (March 2017-March 2018) as KC Chair-/Co-chair-elect and two years (March 2018-March 2020) as KC Chair/Co-chairs.  We invite you to view the full National KC Chair/Co-Chair Position Description.

Any NASPA member may nominate another member for the role of Chair-Elect or Co-Chair-Elect.  Self-nominations are also accepted.  Nominees will be evaluated on the basis of (1) regional and/or national visibility in the Knowledge Community, (2) participation in the Knowledge Community at the regional or national level, and (3) other contributions to the profession that relate to the mission of the Knowledge Community.

If you wish to nominate someone, or you are interested in serving in this position, please submit your nomination by email to Roselyn Gardea at [email protected] no later than October 21, 2016.  A nomination must include the following:

• Nominee(s) name, NASPA Member ID, title, institution, mobile phone number, and email address.

• Candidate statement (500-700 words, MS Word format) that clearly and concisely articulates the nominee’s philosophy, purpose, and/or goals.  The candidate statement may include paragraph breaks where needed.  If nominees are running as co-chairs, they should submit a single, joint candidate statement, which conforms to the 500-700 word requirement.
• Candidate(s) must have a current NASPA membership. 

PLEASE NOTE:  These materials will NOT be edited by the NASPA Office, so it is essential that candidates carefully prepare and review their materials before submitting them.

The nominations committee will review nominees’ materials, and then submit a final list of candidates to the NASPA Office for the official ballot.  The NASPA Office will prepare the official ballot for distribution to all Knowledge Community members.  Ballots will be mailed electronically to all KC members in January, 2017 and elections will be open for 30 days.
