771 Chapter Meeting

771 has another chapter meeting scheduled for January 10th at MSEA Headquarters, 65 State Street, Augusta from 1 to 3 pm. This meeting is to elect the chapter's delegates and go over chapter business. A postcard, similar to what was sent out to members for the election of officers, will be mailed out to members in mid December. This is for members to make nominations for delegates. 771 now has nine delegates. We need to elect eight more as the president is automatically seated as a delegate. Delegate duties include voting in Area I caucuses, attending and voting at MSEA's Annual Convention. Convention is a fun 2 days conducting MSEA's business as well as getting together with union brothers and sisters from all over the state that you may see only once a year. A great time to catch up and party! Without having a full slate of officers and delegates, our local cannot receive its allotments. Anyone interested in being nominated, please contact me at helen.hnsn@gmail.com or Jay Economy at organizing@mseaseiu.org. Be sure to put something about 771 in the subject line so he'll receive it.
