ANNOUNCEMENT ON LOCAL ELECTIONS

Local 716 Election Committee consists of Trustees Marney Booth, Suzzan Poppell, and Matthew Lensen as per the bylaws which state:

Section 6     The President shall appoint an election committee comprised of Trustees and assistants as required. (Article B.3.1 of Local Bylaws)

The committee met on several dates and determined that the format of the election in the Bylaws provide for an in-person election to be held on the day of the Annual General Meeting in May.  Given the ongoing pandemic, this format was found to be untenable.
