The purpose of the Faculty Development Advisory Board is to advance the Faculty Development mission by providing strategic advice and recommendations on programming to the Faculty Development Director.
Faculty Development voting members include:
Two-year term
One-year term
Variable term (based on length of program or role)
Appointments can be renewed. In the case of multiple unexcused absences, the Faculty Development Advisory Board Chair can re-recruit for that position.
Member recruitment shall happen in April and the new Advisory Board members will attend the final meeting of the year and will participate in the Chair election. The Faculty Development Advisory Board Chair is elected by the Advisory Board members at the final meeting of each academic year for a 1-year appointment, which may be renewed. The Faculty Development Advisory Board Chair has the responsibility to recruit the Advisory Board members as appointment deadlines approach, create the Advisory Board meeting agenda, facilitate the Faculty Development Advisory Board meetings, and serve as liaison to the Faculty Development Director.
Membership within the Faculty Development Advisory Board is designed to allow for a diverse group of representatives to share different perspectives, and ideally each position will be filled by a unique individual. In cases when this is not possible, Advisory Board members can serve in a maximum of two positions (compatible with their institutional role) and will be allowed a vote for each position held.
No Faculty Learning Community or Program Lead shall vote on any issue that affects the program they are leading.
A quorum to conduct business shall consist of a majority of the voting members of the Faculty Development Advisory Board in attendance at a regular or special meeting of the Advisory Board. Voting members of the Advisory Board shall assign their proxy to another member of the Advisory Board (with the exception of the Chair) when unable to attend an Advisory Board meeting because of a scheduled class or other work-related responsibility. Assignation of a proxy should be communicated via email and the Chair should be included in that communication. At times, Advisory Board members might be asked to vote electronically.
The Faculty Development Administrative Analyst/Specialist provides logistical support to the Faculty Development Advisory Board and records meeting minutes.
A non-voting member can vote on sub-committee recommendations.
The Faculty Development Advisory Board advises the Faculty Development Director about the recruitment of program leads and contributes to the curriculum development of Faculty Development programming. All Faculty Development programs should include the following information in the call for applications: description and time commitment, amount of funding for the participants, objectives, deliverables, rubric for selection, deadlines.
