Upholding Democracy Within Our Union

To ensure our members’ voices are heard, we will begin our annual election process for elected Executive Board officers. Eligible UMRFA members will be sent a detailed notice regarding the election process at their respective physical mailing address and email on Oct 1st, 2025. We encourage all housestaff to join our union to participate in this democratic process. If you have questions, please contact us at info@umrfa.org

Executive Board Officer Elections

In preparation for these elections, your Interim Governance Committee appointed an Elections Committee as soon as our first union contract was ratified. This committee holds the crucial responsibility of overseeing the conduct of this election. To ensure fair and transparent elections, members of our Elections Committee cannot serve on the Elections Committee and run for an Executive Board office within our union at the same time.

UMRFA conducts internal elections for Executive Board officers annually. The following positions will be up for election:

• President

• Vice President

• Secretary

• Treasurer

• Communications Chair

• Surgical Specialty Representative

• Midtown Representative

• Fellow Representative

• Representative At-Large (3 positions)
