Maricopa Community College Faculty Association

Faculty Executive Council

The FEC is the executive body of the Faculty Association. It reflects both the representative and deliberative functions of a bicameral system in one body. 

According to the FA Constitution, members of FEC must serve two distinct roles. They must represent the constituents at their college, but they must also represent the interests of the FA as a whole.

The core of FEC is composed of the ten college Faculty Senate Presidents (also known as the Council of Presidents). The remainder of the seats are filled based on an allocation representing the number of FA members at each college. The larger the number of FA members, the more representatives sit on Council. According to the FEC Constitution, the maximum number of FEC seats is 22.

The FEC is empowered by the articles of incorporation to make all fiscal decisions on behalf of the FA. They operate as a board of directors and carry the responsibility of all decisions on behalf of the members of the FA. College senates may participate in the FEC provided they meet the conditions articulated in the FA Constitution.
