UNO Child Care Center CHAMPS Organization

C.H.A.M.P.S. exists as a vehicle for involving parents in the child care
program. It creates oportunities for social exchange and support among
parents, as well as provides methods for parents to support the child
care center through participation in fund-raising efforts, volunteering
time within the program and planning events to promote information about
the program to current parents and to the general public.

How We Operate

C.H.A.M.P.S. will function with a predominately collectivist
organization style.

As such, all members will have input into decision made by the group.
Decisions will be made by majority vote of those present after suitable
time for discussion and research into feasibility of a particular idea.

Membership

Any parent, grandparent, or legal guardian of a child attending UNOCCC
is automatically considered to be a member. Parents who are in good
standing at UNO will be considered "active" members, and parents who are
staff or faculty will be considered "participatory" members.

Any person not meeting the above criteria, but who demonstrates a wish
to support UNOCCC and its activities may also become a member through
affiliation.

C.H.A.M.P.S. will not discriminate on the basis of race, religion,
national origin, sex, sexual preference, age, or handicap.

Officers & Elections

Officers consist of co-coordinators, a secretary, and a treasurer.

Election nominations may be submitted in writing before the first
meeting of the group in the fall.

Any person who qualifies as a member of C.H.A.M.P.S. may be elected to
an office.

The election will be held at the first scheduled meeting of the fall
semester.

The term of office is one year.

There is no limit to the number of times a person may occupy an office.
