CUPA-HR Michigan Chapter

Call for Officer Nominations

The CUPA-HR Michigan Chapter board of directors is seeking nominations – both self-nominations and nominations of your colleagues – for president-elect and at-large board members. As a board member, you will have the opportunity to engage with and support your fellow Michiganders working in the Michigan higher education community. Terms will begin July 1, 2022 and run through the designated periods.

CUPA-HR has been at the forefront of education and resources for HR professionals in colleges and universities. As you may already know, the CUPA-HR community provides a means for HR professionals like you to exchange information, tips, resources, and stories with your fellow colleagues in Michigan and across the country.

Open Positions

At-large members (two-year commitment) collaborate with the board on programming, building chapter resources and assisting with the strategic mission of the chapter. The expected average level of commitment for at-large members is approximately thirty minutes per week or two hours every month. Following the conclusion of the annual election, we are accepting nominations for up to 3 At-large members.

Individuals who are interested must be CUPA-HR members. Individuals can nominate themselves or other candidates. Service to the Michigan Chapter board is on a voluntary basis and requires commitment throughout the term to manage programming, communications, finances and conferences.

Chapter Officer Selection Criteria:

  • Officers must be committed to the chapter and its activities.
  • All individuals holding a designated officer position must be listed as a representative of a higher education institution that is a member of the CUPA-HR national organization and that is supportive of this nomination.
