Hello and welcome to the Keyano College Faculty Association (KCFA) website. My name is Sharon Grantham, and I am honored to serve as the current president of the KCFA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than 13 years of experience at Keyano College, I bring a wealth of knowledge and dedication to this role. As a nurse by trade and an instructor in the School of Health and Human Services, I am deeply committed to the success and well-being of our faculty members. Over the years, I have served the KCFA in various capacities, including Vice President, Chair of the Professional Development Committee, member of the Negotiations Committee, Social Committee, Department Representative, Academic Council, and several ad hoc committees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our mission at the KCFA is to support you in your role as a faculty member at Keyano College. We are here to provide assistance and advocacy, ensuring your professional needs professionally are met. You can always reach out to us via email, and we are more than willing to arrange meetings on or off campus, even during breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As your president, I am committed to fostering a more engaged and vibrant faculty community. Together, we will have both enjoyable and informative sessions that will enhance our professional growth and camaraderie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your dedication to Keyano College. I look forward to working with all of you and making our time together productive and rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Dr. Pratik Tripathi, and I have been serving as the Executive Director of the KCFA since 2013. It is an honor to be a part of this dynamic organization and to support such a dedicated group of professionals. As Executive Director, my primary responsibility is to guide our association through its daily operations, labor relation issues, and strategic endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working closely with the KCFA Executive Council, I am committed to setting a clear strategic direction and leading our organization to achieve its goals and objectives. With a deep understanding of labor issues and a solid commitment to dialogue and robust interpersonal relations, I advocate for faculty interests in areas such as dispute resolution, collective bargaining, and the formulation of policies and procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My approach is comprehensive, aiming to foster leadership and organizational development within our community. If you need any support from the KCFA, please reach out to me via email.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
