The CFA Assembly

This past October 18th and 19th, several members of the Sacramento chapter executive board joined other CFA delegates and members at the virtual CFA Fall 2025 Assembly. 

Have you ever wondered when and how the representatives of the different chapters of our Union get together to collaborate and move things forward? Are you looking for a refresher on the internal organization of our Union? Keep reading for a brief summary piece describing the CFA Assembly.

What is the CFA Assembly?

As established in the bylaws “The Assembly is the primary governing body of CFA and is the direct representative of members. The Assembly has primary authority to set broad policy for CFA, adopt budgets and authorize action on behalf of CFA.”

The Assembly meets at least twice a year (Fall and Spring semesters of each academic year). The time and place of these meetings are determined by the Board of Directors.

The next general Assembly will be held in April 2026. Keep an eye for an email with more information in March 2026.

Who are voting members of the Assembly?

  • The president or co-presidents of each chapter – for our Chapter = Mya and Alma*
  • One lecturer representative of each chapter’s lecturer membership*
  • One antiracist and social justice representative of each chapter’s membership*
  • A number of at-large representatives in proportion to active and associate CFA membership in the chapter*

*All of these positions are elected by CFA members for two-year terms during chapter elections

Elected by the Assembly:

  • All members of the CFA Board of Directors
  • The chairs of standing committees of the assembly
  • One member of the Professional Unit of the California Higher Education Staff Union
