The Delegate Assembly is the policy-making authority of the MSCA.  Its policies, programs and resolutions are implemented by the Board of Directors and the Officers.  The fiscal affairs of the MSCA are conducted according to a budget approved by the Delegate Assembly, provided that the Board of Directors has the authority to transfer line items.

The Delegate Assembly meets annual at the end of April or the beginning of May.  This year’s Assembly will be held on Friday, April 29th beginning at 4:00 p.m. virtually using Zoom and streamed live on YouTube to non-delegates who can view the meeting. You can Live Stream the Delegate Assembly here.

The Zoom link will be emailed to delegates Thursday, April 28, 2022.  If you are a delegate and did not receive the email or link, contact the MSCA President at President@MSCAunion.org.

The number of delegates is determined by dividing the number of full-time equivalent faculty and librarians on February 15th by fifteen.  The number of delegates to the 2022 Delegate Assembly is as follows:

Bridgewater – 32
Fitchburg – 15
Framingham – 15
MassArt – 9
MCLA – 5

Delegates are elected by each chapter via a written, secret ballot. If you are interested in running being a candidate for your chapter contact your chapter president.  Election results should be forwarded to the MSCA President’s office by 12:00 p.m. on April 11, 2022.  (This will aid the MSCA President’s Executive Assistant with sending notices and login information.  The deadline in accordance with the MSCA Constitution is 4:00 p.m. April 15, 2022.)
