Answers:
Meet monthly and discuss current
issues, employee concerns or problems presented to CEC members.
Investigate and inform employee/employees on suggested solutions. Our

all important issues, by developing new ways of communicating. The more
voices the louder the sound…

be committee members for various University concerns;
Parking board, Professional Leave Committee, Handicapped &

Q. How long is the term length of a
CEC member?
Each member is elected for a 3 year term unless special circumstances
arise. Ballot elections are held each spring. A member may be nominated
and elected by the council, for the positions of President, Vice
President, Treasurer, and Secretary after serving on the council 1
year. Members are chosen from several different classifications and
represent the ratio of employees in these specified areas:
Classification areas are: Professional Non-Faculty,

Q. How often do they meet?
The fourth Tuesday of each month from September through May with the
possibility of summer meetings.
Q. Who should I contact with a problem or concern?
Any Council Member whom you feel most comfortable talking with, but
probably one who represents your same classification. E-mail has become
a wonderful tool but a personal visit, phone call, or letter will do as
well.
Q. How are problems handled?
Each problem is given as much personal attention by the someone on the
council as time permits. Priority is given whenever possible and
investigations are conducted with a report to the council. Hopefully
with concerns being addressed, solutions become clear and reasonable,
and we benefit from a more valuable, less stressful, working
environment at ISU. It is always strongly emphasized that comments and
incoming information is kept confidential!
We still have much to do in the future and
the key WORD of the future is ACCOUNTABILITY!
We all need to be accountable as state employees and to see that others
(elected Officials, Leaders, and Administrators) are held to their
promises. We are all responsible in part for the future.
