Governance


Governance

The University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA) is governed by two representative bodies: The Plenum and the Executive Committee. The Plenum is formed by one representative from each member institution. The nine-member Executive Committee is elected from and by the Plenum.




UCEA Executive Committee

The Executive Committee (EC) meets monthly. EC members work with the Executive Director to develop long term organizational goals and policies, determine the allocation of resources, ensure that UCEA lives up to its vision, and influence the field of educational leadership. EC members serve three-year terms.

UCEA Plenum

The Plenum meets four times a year. Plenary Session Representative (PSRs) serve as official liaisons among their program, the EC, and the Executive Director. They participate in and inform UCEA initiatives, approve annual budgets, vote to accept new member institutions, and elect the members of the Executive Committee.

UCEA Plenary Session Representatives (PSRs) are elected or appointed by their program/department faculty. PSRs serve for a term of 3-6 years renewable.

In order to perform their governance responsibilities, PSRs are asked to review documents (i.e. meeting minutes, UCEA governance materials) and keep current on all items coming before the Plenum. PSRs can access the information they need for each Plenum meeting here.
