Pre-Convention Update and DCCFA Budget for 2018-19


In accordance with the DCCFA Bylaws, designed in part to increase member participation in all facets of the governance of the association, the Faculty Council again this year undertook a process to accept budget requests from the seven standing committees that were developed during the Sept. 21 standing committee meetings. It should be noted that the DCCFA bylaws now stipulate that all seven college chapters must elect their representatives to each of the seven standing committees, a practice that previously was not uniformly followed in all seven college chapters. Several campuses, though, have not updated their constitutions/bylaws to accomplish this, which deprives those campuses of the opportunity to participate fully in this committee process.


The Welfare and Benefits Committee, chaired by MVCFA President Ryan Pettengill, submitted these minutes of their 9/21/18 meeting. The Welfare and Benefits Committee did not have any specific requests from the DCCFA budget.

The Instructional Goals and Academic Freedom Committee, chaired by RLCFA President Carlos Martinez, submitted these minutes of their 9/21/18 meeting. The Instructional Goals and Academic Freedom Committee did not have any specific requests from the DCCFA budget.

The Communications Committee, chaired by BHCFA President Scott Sires, submitted these minutes of their 9/21/18 meeting. The Communications Committee requests $2500 in the DCCFA budget for development of a new DCCFA website, to include a Blog, as well as portals for individual campus FA pages.

The Political Information Committee, chaired by EFCFA President Stacey Jurhree, submitted these minutes of their 9/21/18 meeting. The Political Information Committee did not have any specific requests from the DCCFA budget.


The Convention Planning Committee, chaired by CVCFA President Shaun Gilligan, submitted these minutes of their 9/21/18 meeting. The Convention Planning Committee requests $1500 in the DCCFA budget for the 2018 Convention and Reception.

The Membership Committee, chaired by ECCFA President Pam Crawford submitted these minutes of their 9/21/18 meeting. The Membership Committee did not have any specific requests from the DCCFA budget.
The Budget and Finance Committee, chaired by NLCFA President Brett Dyer, submitted these minutes of their 9/21/18 joint meeting, as well as this packet of priorities and goals for the committee.

The Faculty Council has reviewed the recommendations of the committees, and in accordance with the bylaws that require it to publish a proposed budget 30 days before the association convenes for the annual convention, hereby publishes this proposed budget for fiscal year 2018-2019.

The final budget is subject to change, per new information that may be received between now and the November 9 convention, the final membership totals to be tabulated at the convention, as well as pending a vote to approve by the members gathered at the convention. Questions about the process, the committee reports, or the convention, may be directed to your respective faculty association president, and/or your local college chapter representative on each standing committee.
