The National Executive (NE) held their Fall meeting from October 8th to 11th, 2024 at the Westin Hotel in Ottawa.
Prior to the NE meeting, the Finance Committee, and the By-Laws Committee both held their committee meeting on October 6th. This was followed by a meeting of the Service Needs Delivery Committee (SNDC) which is mandated to do a complete review of our service delivery, consisting of the direct service to the membership, including human and financial resources, as well as the services provided to the members through the National Union Representatives (NURs). Recommendations made in this in-camera meeting were brought to the National Executive meeting on October 9th for its approval.
The two (2) recommendations from the SNDC that were brought to the NE table for approval were to create 2 two-year term positions: HR Generalist and a Convention and Conference Administrative Agent.
The NE also adopted four (4) sets of minutes, as follows:
- April 30th, 2024
