Staff Nomination and Elections Committee
Nominations and Elections Process
The Staff Nominations and Elections Committee manages appointments for non-MPP, non-faculty staff to campus committees such as Academic Senate and the Staff Center Committee. SNEC holds elections for committees that are seeking non-mpp staff representatives only. Send us an email at snec@csusm.edu if you aren't sure whether SNEC should handle your committee appointment.
Please give yourself a minimum of three - four weeks to complete the process, especially if/when a new member(s) is needed by a specific date. The call for nominations and election process typically occurs over a two week period.
Step 1 - Initiating Nominations and Elections Process
To request an election, please fill out the Staff Nominations and Elections Request Form. The form will ask for the following information:
- Name of committee
- Term commitment
- Number of positions open and if there are any requirements, such as classification or division
- Scheduled meeting time and time commitment per month
- Expected start date
- Committee's charge or description
- Committee's composition
Step 2 - Call for Nominations and Elections
SNEC will reach out to all non-MPP staff for nominations and will manage the election process.
If more than one nomination is received, SNEC will push out election information to all non-mpp, non-faculty staff inviting them to participate in the process and select their choice for the position. If only one nomination is submitted, they will automatically be appointed to the position.
