We hope everyone had a wonderful, relaxing summer break. Please see below for the most current information. For further information you can click on the logo to access our website.

Executive board is still seeking at least 2 building reps. Below is a description of the duties involved:

We need one building rep for GMS and one building rep for GES!

1. Building Representatives shall attend the regular meetings of the Executive board and the general membership meetings.

2. Building Representatives shall be responsible for distributing Association communications to the members in their buildings, for keeping their members informed and shall further act as liaison from the members in their buildings to the Executive Board.

3. At the start of the school year Building Representatives will provide members with dues payment information. However, it is the obligation of each member to make arrangements for his/her dues payment as stated in Article III Section B.

4. Building Representatives will hold a monthly 10-minute membership meeting in the building within a week following the monthly Executive Board meetings to report back information/updates to members.

As was discussed last year, the executive board has moved forward with a ULP due to the increase in our medical insurance. Over the summer, our ULP did go to mediation and we met with the city again in early August. We are in the process of trying to come to an agreement with the city.
