PPSA is an organization of administrative and technical staff who serve the teaching, research, student services and business missions of the University. PPSA accomplishes its mission by providing a consultative resource; a forum where staff can express opinions and be kept informed on issues of importance; representation on major University committees; seminars and programs to broaden and expand staff’s background and knowledge; and a supportive network to work toward achieving the University’s goals and objectives and enhancing the professional status of staff.
The following positions on the PPSA Executive Board will be available for the coming year:
Chair-Elect: The Chairperson is the principal executive officer, who calls meetings, prepares agendas, presides over meetings, and provides leadership and representation at the University Council and other meetings. After one year, the Chair-Elect automatically succeeds to the Office of Chairperson.
Vice-Chair Elect: The Vice-Chairperson records the proceedings of the Executive Committee and also functions as treasurer. After one year, the Vice-Chair Elect automatically succeeds to the Office of Vice-chair.
Members at Large: Three positions are available. The Members at Large participate in Executive Board meetings, can take on special projects, and can serve on other University Committees.
Current members (all University monthly-paid employees are PPSA members automatically) are asked to self-nominate or submit names for consideration to Christina Costanzo Clark, PPSA Vice-Chair Elect, at costanzo@nursing.upenn.edu no later than Monday, May 23, 2005.
