The spring 2026 Executive Council (EC) elections have been certified, and we are taking stock of membership on our EC which is the highest policy-making body of our union.

We are thrilled to have so many of our current EC representatives continuing with us, grateful to the few who are stepping down after several years of service and already planning to run vacancy elections at the start of the fall semester. Details are below.

Congratulations to the continuing EC representatives listed below, and our gratitude to outgoing EC reps Cathy Bondi, Brian DeMasi, Naomi Edwards, Kailyn Giaccone, Mary Sierra and Stephanie Taboada.
