Call for New TAB Members

If you live here, you probably love it here! Consider giving back by volunteering for the
Tenant Advisory Board (TAB). TAB works to keep University Apartments (UA) engaged
and responsive to student residents and their families. Several board positions will be coming
open in the next few months and TAB is currently recruiting candidates from all three
complexes.
TAB operates under the auspices of the Division of Housing and Food Service (DHFS). TAB
reviews issues related to our housing, including rent increases, payment options, strategic
planning, and other budget and policy issues, family and safety issues. When appropriate,
TAB makes recommendations to DHFS management. TAB reviews and decides on resident
complaints through the appeals process outlined in the resident handbook. Additionally, TAB
is directly responsible for oversight of the community gardens at the Colorado and
Brackenridge complexes. Over the past year, TAB has also been actively involved in
monitoring the Brackenridge Tract planning, issues related to parking and traffic in the
complexes, shuttle bus services, and maintenance issues.
TAB is comprised of two representatives from each of the UA complexes, along with a
representative from the Community Advisors and facilities staff,. TAB meets twice each
month during long semesters and once monthly during the summer. TAB members commit
to serving a two-year term. Best of all, TAB members are compensated $30 for each meeting
they attend. Over the course of a year, that might be equivalent to your rent for one month!
To apply, please email your resume and a cover letter. Explain why you are interested in
serving on TAB and highlight any experience you have in volunteering and community
service.

community service opportunity!
