Health & Benefit Plans

Benefits Committee

 

The College-wide Benefits Committee was established in January 2005 by a Memorandum of Understanding(PDF File) (opens in new window) ("MOU") between the District, Faculty Association and CSEA Chapter 36. The committee is composed of 9 voting members and one or more resource people.

"Three members will be selected from the three constituent groups: the Faculty Association, CSEA, administration. Each constituent group selects their representatives. Each member has one vote; the resource person(s) has no voting privilege." (from MOU dated 01.11.2005)
