The number of votes cast in the election for four new Employee Advisory Council representatives already is more than double the total number from last year’s election, and there is still more than a week remaining to cast your vote, if you haven’t already.

Voting is open to classified, Administrative & Professional (A&P) and non-teaching staff, excluding residents, through Monday, Dec. 1, providing UTMB employees a chance to vote for an EAC member to represent their entity.

The EAC is a peer-elected group that serves to enhance communication for all classified, Administrative & Professional (A&P), and non-teaching positions, excluding residents. The group also serves as a focus group/advisory panel by providing a feedback loop on broad issues and potential new programs that can impact employees.

Elections are held each year to replace members who have served their commitment to the council. Members are elected from four widely-grouped areas within UTMB. For the purposes of representation on the council, the university is grouped in four large segments: Academic Enterprise, Correctional Managed Care, Hospitals and Clinics, and Institutional Support.

Our thanks go to the following members who have completed their commitment: Jennifer Anderson (Academic Enterprise), Janet Gonzalez (Correctional Managed Care), Craig Kovacevich (Hospitals and Clinics) and Julie Cantini (Institutional Support).
