At last weekend’s Spring Assembly, members elected members of the Board of Directors and Committees to represent CFA’s 29,000 tenure-track faculty, lecturers, counselors, coaches, and librarians.

Several statewide Board members were re-elected, some new activists stepped into new roles, and members celebrated outgoing leaders.

Re-elected leaders (with campuses) include:

  • President: Charles Toombs, San Diego
  • Vice President: Kevin Wehr, Sacramento
  • Secretary: Diane Blair, Fresno

“Congratulations to the re-elected Board of Directors and a big welcome to newly elected Officers, Board of Directors, and Committee members,” President Charles Toombs said. “These leaders will guide us in all of our important work, anti-racism and social justice, political action and legislative, student advocacy, and our bargaining campaign for rights, respect and justice, among the other great work we do for our Unit 3 members and for the CSU. You are all so active and experienced as CFA leaders and as campus leaders. I look forward to working with all of you.

“I extend the biggest thanks to departing Officers, Board of Directors, and Committee members for their dedicated service and work; they have been instrumental in shaping CFA’s work, vision, and aspirations for a better and more equitable CSU,” Toombs added.

Officers and committee chairs coordinate with CFA’s 23 chapter executive boards to guide and govern the union’s representation and advocacy. Office terms are for two years and begin June 1.

  • Treasurer: Susan Green, Chico
