Dear members,
The UAOSU Elections Committee is pleased to announce our new officers, delegates, and reps for 2025!
If you’re wondering if you somehow missed your ballot, you didn’t! At the close of our nominations period this year, none of our officer, delegate, or representative positions were contested – which is not uncommon for local unions of our size. According to our constitution and bylaws, when we don’t have contested seats, no formal election is required. We, the Elections Committee, decided to not carry out a formal election, saving us and our union valuable time and resources.
Most importantly, we have a marvelous group of candidates set to assume office on June 1. Please join us in welcoming the following newly elected officers, reps, and delegates:

All of our union-wide officer positions are filled for the upcoming year, but there are still openings for Representative in most colleges, as well as some constituency VP and committee chair positions. If you know someone who would make a great UAOSU Representative for your College or a great candidate for one of the open officer positions, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Your UAOSU Elections Committee
Geoff Barstow, Matt Lynch, Megan Ward, Morgan Ross, Tim Alcon
