Boulder Campus Staff Council welcomes new members, returning incumbents

Seven incumbents and four newcomers recently were elected to the Boulder Campus Staff Council following a campus-wide, web-based nomination and voting process.

After being nominated by fellow staff, 18 staff members competed for several open council seats during this year’s election, which closed April 29.

Incumbent Philip Bradley and newcomer Joshua Firestone were elected to represent area one.

Newly elected Serena Leland will fill the vacancy in area two.

Joanna Iturbe, who will be a new addition to the council, received the most votes in a very competitive area three election.

Area four will be represented by newcomer Amaury Batista.

Current council member Sharon Vieyra, will continue to represent area five after running uncontested.

Three incumbent council members ran unopposed in areas six, seven and eight: John McKee from area six, Nicholas O’Connor from area seven and Greg Roers from area eight will return to represent staff in their respective areas.

Former co-chair Sarah Douvres was elected to the council’s vacant at-large seat.

Those elected will serve three-year terms beginning July 1 and ending June 30, 2016.
