Candidates for Representative to the Local
Simon Weffer
I would like to be re-elected to my position as NIU’s representative to the local because I have represented our faculty well to the locale, as well as helped build our union. I will continue to work to meet new colleagues and have more conversations to increase the size of our membership. I will continue to work with the executive committee to make sure we are dealing with both the micro and macro issues that confront our faculty. I will also continue, as a Latino faculty member, to bring a diverse viewpoint to the executive committee at NIU as well as to the broader local. While we have accomplished a great deal in the past year, there is more work to do, and I look forward to having the opportunity to continue to that work on behalf of our entire faculty.
