President’s Column Dec. 2017

DEMOCRACY, ELECTIONS, and an MCCC PRIMER The MCCC represents four (4) distinct constituent groups: full-time faculty, full-time professional staff, part-time faculty/professional staff and adjunct faculty.

President’s Column Nov. 2017

Union Solidarity. What Is at Stake? There will be a number of external challenges facing unions in the months ahead.

President’s Column April 2017

MCCC DELEGATE ASSEMBLY The MCCC Delegate Assembly is the most democratic body in the MCCC, and it’s also the most powerful. It’s easy to be elected, and it makes a difference The statewide elected officers, Board of Directors, and Chapter Presidents matter in carrying out the day-to-day work of the Union, but the decisions of the Delegate Assembly are the highest authority.
