President’s message:

 As you all know this is an election year for the CSEA.  At the Holiday party on December 19th, the new CSEA Executive Board will be introduced.  Please vote!  The ballot boxes are available in both the mailroom and the Garfield campus.  If you did not get a ballot, please let me or Abe Barakat know, so we can update our database and give you a ballot.

 The newly elected Board will set the goals for the next two years.  I would like to thank the current Board for their hard work and dedication.  I stepped in as President of our chapter last August and I want to report to you our accomplishments since then:
 

  • The Classified Retreat was brought back and we are in the planning stage of another for Spring 2008
  • CSEA’s endorsed incumbents won their seats on the Board of Trustees
  • Attendance has improved at the Chapter monthly meetings
  • 7.5 % salary increase and one-time rebate from Blue Shield
  • Active Participation in Shared Governance
  • Partnership with Guild
  • Contribution to Proposition 92
  • Successful Fundraising events
  • Chapter meetings at the Garfield campus
  • Appointed CSEA Site Representative at the Garfield campus
  • Memorable Classified Institute Day
  • CSEA scholarship awards
  • Participation in the Accreditation process

 I want to take this opportunity to thank all the members and CSEA Executive Board who have worked with me throughout the year to improve our position here at the college.  It takes all of us to make a difference.  Thank you for nominating me as your President for the next two-year term.  I am proud to have served as your President and would be honored to continue to represent you in the future.

 In Unity,

Saodat Aziskhanova
