Due to the resignation of the current EAC (Employee Advisory Committee) Representative, EIU will hold a special election for an EIU representative to the State Universities Civil Service Advisory Committee. Civil service employees interested in running for the position may pick up the proper forms in the Human Resources office, 2010 Old Main beginning Friday, May 22.
To be eligible for nomination and election to membership on this committee, a Civil Service employee must meet the following qualifications: (1) Have a full-time certified status appointment in the system; and (2) have at least three current consecutive years of civil service employment in an institution currently served by the system at the time the candidate picks up the petition and statement of candidacy. Further information regarding process deadlines will be given with the candidacy forms.
The term will be from July 16, 2015 - December 31, 2019. In a standard end-of-term election, the individual elected to this committee serves a 4-year term. However, with the special election, the term will be 4 years and 5.5 months.
The election will be held on Tuesday, June 23, 2015 from 8:00-5:00 p.m. for Civil Service employees only.
