Upcoming Elections

Local FSTO Elections

FSTO currently has a few vacancies on our Executive Board. As a result, we are running a special election to fill the open positions for FSTO Secretary and TRHS Director. The Declaration of Candidacy period is currently open and will close on September 1st. Please see the attached Announcement and Timeline for information, and links to the Declaration of Candidacy form, position descriptions, and other details necessary for running and/or voting in this election.

If you have any questions, please contact the FSTO Elections Chair, Lisa Valdes at elections@myfsto.org.

State level CTA Elections

CTA has a similar governing structure, albeit on a much larger scale, as we do in FSTO.

Our local Executive board is composed of our 4 officers and 8 directors.
Our Representative Assembly is currently composed of 30 local representatives.

CTA has 3 officers and 20 directors.
CTA State Council is made up of close to 800 delegates.

Just like you have individuals from your site representing you at the FSTO Rep Council meetings, FSTO elects individuals to represent us at the State Council meetings. State Council Members serve on numerous committees and task forces within CTA.

We currently have Kenneth Eaves, Amanda Gieser, and myself representing us at these quarterly meetings. Additionally, Duy Nguyen has already been elected as an alternate to attend these meetings in the event a delegate is unable to attend.

There currently is a vacancy for an additional alternate position. If you are interested in running for that position, you must declare your candidacy by August 28th. For instructions and screenshots of how to declare to run for this position, please check out this link.

Bargaining Input

FSTO's past practice has been to send out a Bargaining Survey to solicit input from members. This occurs, shortly before commencing bargaining. We intend to continue this tradition.

Over the years, we have heard from members that during the term of the contract (in this case 2025-2028), they forget concerns; hence they are not captured by the Bargaining Survey. In an attempt to remedy this issue, we are now launching a Bargaining Suggestions Form. It will allow you to submit suggestions while your concerns are fresh in your mind.

If you have any questions, please contact the FSTO Bargaining Chair, Mike Reid at mitreid@sbcglobal.net
