Note: The nominations period has now passed. Nominations received after March 21, 2026, will not be considered for the 2026 AAUP Biennial Meeting.
Nominations are being sought for the position of AAUP at-large chapter delegate(s) and alternates to the 2026 AAUP Biennial Meeting, to be held on June 12-13, 2026, in downtown Chicago, Illinois, at the Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile. Chapter delegates will attend and represent the chapter at the Biennial Meeting and will cast the votes of the chapter in the election of AAUP Council members to be held at the Biennial Meeting.
The chapter is entitled to ten delegates. It may also elect alternate delegates to replace delegates who are unable to serve. Any chapter member in good standing is eligible to be nominated or to nominate another member as delegate or alternate. A member may self-nominate for either position.
The chapter delegates who attend the Biennial Meeting and are credentialed shall be entitled to cast ballots in an election or weighted vote equal to the total number of members from the chapter. If the chapter has more than one credentialed delegate, each delegate shall be entitled to an equal portion of the votes to which the chapter is entitled, with the delegation distributing any remaining votes.
Limited funds are available to reimburse delegates for a portion of the lodging and travel expenses for at-large chapter delegates attending the Biennial Meeting.
The delegate(s) elected will serve a term from the date of the election until the close of the Biennial Meeting for which they are elected.
Nominations for delegate or alternate must be made in writing either by email or by US mail and must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. ET on March 21, 2026.
