Your local executive will be engaged in a planning session on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, so we will be taking an ever-so-brief reprieve from this blog for those two days in order to devote our energies to: holding our October executive meeting, planning Steward training for the year, team building, and working on aspects of our local executive's vision, such as enforcing our collective agreement and promoting members' professional confidence and autonomy. It's gearing up to be a busy and productive two days!! Our treasurer for the last 3 years, Tom Lazor, is off on leave which necessitated an internal executive shuffle - as a result, Cheryl Fleury-Eekma was elected to serve as acting Treasurer for 2009-2010. Cheryl will now be dividing her time between Queen Elizabeth Public School (0.5) and the local office (0.5). Cheryl's former position as Political Action Chair/Member at Large was filled by Tim Snoddon, of Sunderland Public School, which in turn created an executive member vacancy to fill the position Tim vacated.
At this executive meeting, we're pleased to be welcoming the newest member of the team - Tina Rodway, of Westney Heights Public School. Tina was elected by the executive in September to fill the Executive Member vacancy for 2009-2010. Tina has been a Workplace Steward for several years, a Durham delegate to ETFO's annual meeting and has served on ETFO's Disability Issues standing committee for the last couple of years.
All this shuffling sounds complicated, I know, but now the executive is complete again and a year of challenging work is upon us. We are all committed to working hard on your behalf!
