The Council of UC Faculty Associations (CUCFA) has elected new leadership to become effective July 1, 1997 because current President David Leonard (Pol. Sci. at UCB) and Vice President Michael Warren (Literature, UCSC) have served the two-year term to which they agreed. Under their leadership, CUCFA has grown stronger and more effective.
Newly-elected President is Mary Ann Mason who is a Professor of Social Welfare at UCB. She served as Treasurer of the Berkeley Faculty Association for the past two years, has served on the Berkeley Division Executive Committee of the Academic Senate, and has long been active in campus faculty affairs. She is married to Professor Paul Eckman, who is very active in the Faculty Association at UCSF. In a reversal of current leadership roles, the new President will oversee the Council’s activities internal to the University and supervise the work of CUCFA’s Executive Director, Susan Gallick from the UCLAFA.
Newly-elected Vice President is Charles Nash, who has served for the past several years as Chair of the DFA. The Vice Chair will be in charge of legislative matters and will supervise the work of CUCFA’s Legislative Coordinator, Myrna Hays from the DFA.
David Leonard commented, “I personally feel we will be exceptionally well served by this slate of officers.” CUCFA plans to continue to provide faculty with a strong presence both within UC and in Sacramento.
