Component 1 Executive By-Election at the SAGM

cupe4163 Component 1, elections

Hello CUPE 4163 Component 1 members!

Each year, at the Spring General Meeting, a new CUPE 4163 executive is elected. Component 1 has a minimum of three representatives on the Executive Board: A Vice President, Communications Officer, and Member at Large. In the election held in March, Component 1 elected only a Vice President and Member at Large. Since that time, your VP, Evan Stefanek, has graduated and stepped down from the position.  

Now that Component 1 orientations are essentially finished and we have a complete list of our current members, it is time to hold a by-election for vacant Component 1 executive positions.

The by-election will be held at the SAGM on Thursday, October 27 at 5:30 (HSD A240)

Nominations can be made at the meeting (and you can nominate yourself!).
