On September 12, 2023 I notified you that one member to the Employee Advisory Committee to the State University Civil Service System from NIU was up for election.
Today, (September 21, 2023) any interested party may begin to circulate petitions for nomination to this position. The nominating documents are attached and are also available in the Human Resource Services main office location at 1515 West Lincoln Highway, DeKalb, IL 60115.
A Nominating Petition must include the legible signatures of at least 25 active Civil Service employees. Petitions and Statement of Candidacy forms (attached) must be returned in person to Human Resource Services, (1515 West Lincoln Highway, DeKalb, IL 60115) no later than close of business on September 28, 2023. (Corrected date from previous notification).
Only candidates who have filed completed Petition and Statement of Candidacy forms will appear on the ballot. Write-in candidates will not be recognized. An official election will not be necessary if the total number of petitions filed equals the number of slots to be filled.
