Introducing Your New Faculty Relations Officer
A new, but experienced, face will lead LCFA's Administrative Side
Hello everyone,
I hope that this email finds you with all grading completed and on your way into the holiday break in good spirits.
This will likely be my last message as the FRO for your faculty association, and I wanted to use it to (re)introduce the individual who will be filling my role in the new year after I depart. I am pleased to announce that Mike Mayo, who had held this role previous to myself, will be returning to LCFA on January 9 to take over as the new FRO for the Association. Should you require the services of the faculty association before January 9, please reach out to Dave English or Kerry Edwards (or any of our other elected representatives - a list of whom can be found at lcfa.ca).
Mike brings with him a wealth of experience in the College community, and I have no doubt that he will serve the Association and its members well into the future. On a personal note, I feel much more assured leaving the administration of the Association with someone so experienced.
Once again, I would like very much to thank all of you for the opportunity to serve this organization and its membership. It’s been an incredible opportunity to see the strength and resilience of faculty from all walks of life as they have come through an incredibly challenging period. The passion and commitment of college teachers to continue their vital work despite everything stacking up against them is genuinely impressive and inspiring.
I have said before that institutions like this one are where the rubber hits the road in terms of social equity and making life better for working people and their families. They provide roadmaps and avenues for good jobs that sustain communities, and they give our neighbours opportunities. I will always believe that – and this experience has made me grateful for the people who do the work of this place day in and day out.
So: thank you again, and all the very best into the future.
Keith
