Expanded Opportunities in the Los Angeles Community College District Chapter
Reggie McCoy RetiresLongtime LACCD Chapter Presdent Reginald McCoy retired on March 5, 2010. Reggie leaves our LACCD chapter well-positioned to take on whatever new challenges come our way. In his tenure as President he:
- Established a constant presence for our chapter at the Board of Trustees.
- Established a regular presence with the Personnel Commission and regular contact with the commissioners.
- Brought awareness within the LACCD system of our small but important unit of Supervisors.
- Expanded our public relations and outreach to gain recognition for our unit by each individual college president and administrator.
"When I look back on my time as President, I think we gained a lot more recognition for LA Community College supervisors both with the union and with the district. There's value in that recognition, and in knowing that our supervisors operate in a grievance-free environment. We like to be proactive and stop problems before they happen. And we've built solidarity with supervisors throughout the district."
Elect a New President and Board, and Vote on New Bylaws
Hand-in-hand with elections for a new board, including a new President to fill the spot Reggie McCoy left open with his retirement, will be a revision of the chapter bylaws.
Galen Bullock, Chapter Vice President, has taken the lead, working with a committee of current leaders, in revising and updating the bylaws to expand participation opportunities for new leaders from different colleges and workplaces.
For the new bylaws to take effect they must be ratified by the membership.
Nominations for the board and ratification of the new bylaws will happen together. A package will be mailed in early July containing the revised bylaws, a ratification ballot, and a nomination form so members can nominate themselves or colleagues to be elected to officer and board positions.
If you have any questions about the bylaws revision or the upcoming board elections, please contact VP Galen Bullock at 213-763-7211 or Worksite Organizer Javad Sabokpey at 213-368-8617.
The other members of the committee revising the bylaws are:
