Dear uOttawa community,
After four years of working at the University of Ottawa, I’m excited to be submitting myself for the position of Support Staff Representative to the Board of Governors. If elected I’ll bring with me decades of experience that would be both useful to the board, and, most importantly, in reflecting the diversity of interests of all support staff.
I have been involved in rightsholders/affected -party negotiations both professionally and on a volunteer basis for over 20 years. My current role involves high level corporate and individual fundraising, where I’m frequently responsible for liaising with professors and Deans, as well as managing collaboration across multiple faculties and departments. I look forward to the opportunity to bring these skills and experiences to represent to represent support staff on the Board of Governors.
The part of uOttawa I have enjoyed the most over the past 4-years, has been learning from my fellow support staff through both my work as well as through the committees I’ve served on, and events I’ve attended. I am grateful to the diversity of people who supported my nomination and look forward to the opportunity to continue to listen to and learn form the colleagues I will represent.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve support staff, and the University. I look forward to using my experiences as well as those shared with by my colleagues, to ensure members of support staff and the University thrive.
Sincerely,
Julia Canning
