Leadership Team (LT), 3 openings

  • (2) Leader or Co-Leader Positions
  • (1) At-large Position

The LT is the decision-making authority in CIRTL as regards policies, using sociocratic processes, and except in such cases as when a policy needs to be decided by the Network as a whole or is delegated to a Standing Committee. The LT advises the Director on operational decisions such as revenue planning, program expenditures, initiatives, network procedures and practices, and implementation of CIRTL policies.

Cross-Network Operations Group (CNOG), 3 openings

The CNOG is charged with overseeing the Cross-Network curriculum offerings to ensure that they reflect the CIRTL Core Ideas and Learning Outcomes, are responsive to Network needs, and embody a diverse and evolving set of formats to provide for future faculty development in teaching and learning across the Network.

Membership Operations Group (MOG), 2 openings

The MOG guides the evolving membership of the CIRTL Network, in concert with the strategic directions of the Network. At regular intervals according to the guidance of the Network, the MOG presents a slate of new Members to the Leadership Team.

Meeting Planning Committee (MPC), 2 openings

The CIRTL Network Meetings Working Group is charged with leading the planning for the semi-annual CIRTL General Meetings and monthly virtual CIRTL Network Meetings (3rd Thursdays). The Group meets once a month for approximately one hour. Additional meetings are scheduled as needed, particularly as the CIRTL General Meetings approach each fall and spring. The group collaborates with the CIRTL Leadership Team and CIRTL Central.

Voting will be conducted using the Simply Voting online election software. Each CIRTL institution will have two votes for each open position. The Institutional Leader and Administrative Co-Leader will each receive an email from “CIRTL Network Elections” that includes an anonymous link to the ballot.

Candidate statements describing their qualifications, experience in CIRTL, and interest in the position will be available via the ballot and emailed in advance of the election. Please take the time needed to discuss your institutional vote with your local CIRTL team and to give each candidate consideration. Here are some details about how to vote within the Simply Voting system:

  1. When you access the ballot through the link in your email, you will see a brief description of the Leadership Team (LT) functions, followed by the list of LT candidates.
  2. Keep scrolling down and you will see the same for the Cross-Network Operations Group (CNOG), Membership Operations Group (MOG), and Meeting Planning Committee (MPC).
  3. You may view a candidate’s statement by clicking “view details” next to their name.
  4. To vote, click the boxes next to your desired candidates for each committee, then click “Continue” at the bottom of the page. The software will then display your selections for you to review.
  5. Click “Confirm” to place your vote, or “Change” to make new selections.
  6. Once you have placed your vote, you should see “Success” on the page and will be able to view and print your voting receipt.

The voting software will send reminders to those individuals who have not yet voted as the deadline for voting approaches. We will not know the results of the election until voting has closed.

Ballots will be sent to these Institutional Leaders and Administrative Co-Leaders. (If a Leader position is empty at the time of the vote, that position will forfeit their right to vote):
