The window is OPEN to apply for consideration as a UEA At-Large Representative on the URS Membership Council.
There is a recent opening for a UEA appointment on the Utah Retirement Systems (URS) Membership Council for the position filled by a UEA member who is actively engaged in the profession, in accordance with statutory requirements. The remainder of the existing term runs through June 30, 2024 and there is potential for reappointment at that time.
The Council is advisory to the URS Board and meets the first Monday each month during lunch time. Typically, the April meeting is a spring workshop and is scheduled according to the Council’s availability. It is almost a full day of presentations and training, followed by the normal business meeting. There is no meeting in May and June is usually canceled unless there is a need regarding legislation.
In determining the best representative, the UEA Board of Directors will consider diverse* representation in gender, ethnicity and location, as well as availability (time out of class, sub costs etc.). If you would like to be considered for an appointment to the Membership Council of the Utah Retirement Systems as one of UEA’s representatives, please fill out the online application and also send a resume and up to three letters of reference to heather@myUEA.org.
