• The ratio of UFF Senators to members is one Senator per 25 members (or major portion thereof).
• Your Chapter President automatically takes one Senate seat allocated to your chapter.
• Your chapter should elect one Alternate Senator for each Senate seat allotted when practicable.
• The ratio of FEA Delegates to members is one FEA Delegate per 50 members.
• Your chapter should elect one Alternate FEA Delegate for each FEA Delegate seat allotted when practicable.
