As a member of the Academic Senate, your active participation on Senate Standing Committees is essential to the continued success of shared governance and is considered a chief component of your contribution to university service as defined in the Academic
Personnel Manual. As such, your participation in the committee selection process is essential.
<b>Even if you cannot serve next year, please complete the form so that the Academic Senate has a record of your acknowledgment of this message. </b></div>

I remind you that the University of California has historically been based on a policy of shared governance. This policy can remain healthy only if faculty members agree to serve on Academic Senate and Administrative Committees. We need to have sufficient numbers
of diverse faculty volunteers in order to populate the committees with faculty who are informed, interested, and engaged in the committee’s topic. In addition, it is important that you select committees for which you seriously wish to be considered a member. <br>

Thank you in advance for your participation.</div>
