Membership Approves Updates to EA Constitution and By-Laws
7/3/24 UPDATE:
Updates to the Employees’ Association’s Constitution and By-Laws were proposed to general membership on April 9, 2024. Voting on proposed changes opened on April 12th, followed by a second vote on July 11th due to an unintended change in the Constitution and By-Laws distributed to members for the initial vote.
In the latest vote, members approved the revised updates (corrected to remove unintended change) with 129 Yes and 2 No.
Updates include, but are not limited to:
General formatting
Clarification on Board member duties
Updated expenditure limits previously approved by general membership
Increased Social Committee budget
Additional steward positions to align with the most recent MOU
A copy of the revised updated Constitution and By-Laws can be found here.
Any questions? Please contact your EA Steward.
