About

In the years prior to the 2008 establishment of the Professionals and Professional Faculty Assembly, some College of William and Mary professional faculty had identified the need for an organization. For example:

• professional faculty wanted more opportunities to contribute their knowledge and skills to College planning and decision-making, including serving on more campus-wide committees
• organizations already existed for instructional faculty (Faculty Assembly) and classified and hourly staff (Hourly and Classified Employees--HACE). Professional faculty identified the need for a similar organization to network, become more involved in College planning and decision-making, share expertise, and voice interests and concerns
• professional faculty wanted to compile and codify personnel policies and procedures for professional faculty and to have more input about proposed new personnel policies, pay raises, etc.
