Executive Vice President Courtney Brewer is all smiles every time she submits the annual lists of member promotions. Courtney spends hours assisting members with their promotion questions and application drafts to ensure the highest possible success rate for member promotions, which is consistently higher than 95%. Congratulations to all of our adjunct and full-time members who were promoted this academic year! (photo by Cynthia Eaton)

I invite everyone to join me in congratulating our adjunct and full-time faculty who were recently notified that they have earned their promotion in rank this spring! We also celebrate our adjunct faculty who were notified last fall of their success in the promotion process.

It brings us such joy in the FA to see these lists of successful promotions. We know that our members work hard, semester after semester, and we know that some days are harder than others. Yet for the sake of our students, you push on to give them the best educational experience possible.

Such happy news is a wonderful way to head into the summer months, knowing that these colleagues will join us in September with their new rank in place. Job well done!

Finally, the promotion process is, of course, just beginning for our full-time faculty who are currently in the process of submitting their cover sheets for their applications, or A-forms.

For those who submitted their cover sheet by May 15, remember that your completed application is due by June 17. As always, I am happy to help with draft copies of completed applications, so if you have anything you’d like me to look at, please forward it as soon as possible.

Our promotions guidebook is available on our FA website and will be a useful resource to anyone applying or thinking about applying in the future. It’s never to early to start preparing! Contact me with any questions or concerns.
