<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Are you interested in a leadership role with a fantastic group of system-wide colleagues? Hoping to have a meaningful and lasting impression on the student success work of the
commission? Excited about getting to know Joe Holliday at a whole new level? Now is the time to
<b>nominate yourself</b> (there is zero shame in this) <b>or one of your colleagues</b> (also zero shame) for a WSSSC Executive Committee role that will collaboratively help shape the context in which we pursue the commission goals.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I am writing you today as your WSSSC past president, as I also occupy that role and, per the bylaws, it is my responsibility to assemble a
<b>slate of candidates for consideration for the executive committee</b> of the commission.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The only position on the slate that we consider as de facto has been the president, which is generally expected to emerge from the president-elect position.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The other positions open for consideration are the
<b>president-elect</b>, the <b>treasurer</b>, and the <b>secretary</b>. While we do have
<b>two at-large positions</b>, per the by-laws they are appointed by the incoming president, which helps provide opportunity for balanced representation across the commission constituency. However, we openly and excitedly accept nominations (self and colleague)
for commissioners to be considered for those roles as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In addition, it is useful to note that anyone who is a liaison to a WACTC standing committee who is not already in an elected or appointed role is also a member of the executive
committee (though we have afforded them a reduced expectation than those elected/appointed).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Finally, as this is the planning year culminating in the
<b>Student Success Conference</b> in the spring, we will also be identifying <b>two co-chairs</b> at this meeting. Please consider volunteering to engage your colleagues and to lead the design and presentation of this amazing experience for hundreds of our
student success leaders throughout the state. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
