The Association is only as strong as its membership, so we count on the time and commitment of our members to achieve our goals.

There are many ways to volunteer and provide service to CUASA. From serving on the executive in a Steering Committee position, to being a Council representative for your unit, or volunteering for one of our standing committees or joint committees with the University.

The Collective Agreement recognizes CUASA work as Service in members’ annual reviews.

Please see below for our current vacancies, and contact the CUASA Office if you’d like to get involved.

If you’d like to contribute to CUASA’s work and positions, here are some ways you can help:

… volunteer on the Grievance Policy and Administration Committee

This Committee helps to set CUASA policy on how to handle member grievances, and works with CUASA staff to support members during the grievance process. The committee meets once a month during the academic year.

… serve as a member of Anti-Racism Working Group

This Working Group is open to any CUASA member interested in addressing the issue of racism at Carleton. It usually meets once a month during the academic year.

… join one of our Caucus Groups

CUASA’s 2SLBGTQIA+ Pride Caucus and Disability Caucus are now meeting regularly, and we are happy to welcome new members. These caucus groups are intended to be a way for people from equity-seeking groups to find community connections, socialize, organize, support one another, and share ideas with each other and with CUASA. These groups usually meet once a month.
