ADVISORY BOARD
The Retired Faculty and Staff Association is led by an advisory board of retired faculty and staff members.
The first Board was composed of the members of the Organizing Committee (the original ad hoc committee of 12 that established the RFSA in 2006-2008).
The five annually elected officers, plus the immediate past president, serve on the Board and are collectively referred to as the Executive Committee.
- Officer positions are President, Vice President (also serves as Historian), Secretary, Treasurer, and Ombudsperson.
- Officers may serve in the same position for three consecutive years.
- The Advisory Board handles all business and concerns related to members of RFSA.
- Subsequently, Board membership has increased through Board invitations to serve.
HONORARY ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS
A retiring member of the Advisory Board, in recognition of valued contributions, may be nominated by the Executive Committee and approved by the Advisory Committee, as an Honorary Advisory Board Member.
