GEO Officer Elections

GEO will be holding online elections on May 13th. On election day, we will post a link to the election site below.

We are a member led union, and that means we need every one of you to make your voice heard in these elections! We will be voting on a change to our constitution and on elected representatives for the next academic year.

The proposed change to the constitution creates a new Secretary position. The Secretary’s duties would be to maintain the accuracy and security of GEO’s membership database, and to work with GEO staff to analyze membership data to assist with organizing efforts. The full text of the amendment can be found here, with edits in red.

The representative positions up for election are:

Co-presidents

Communications Co-Chairs

Solidarity Co-Chairs

Co-Treasurers

Grievance Officer

Officers-at-Large (up to 3)

Secretary

Any member can nominate themselves for any position. If you are interested in running, please email geo@uiucgeo.org. Even if you don’t want to run for an elected position, now is a great time to join a committee! Committee meetings are open to all members, and meeting times are listed in the GEO calendar.
