Call for Nominations – Vacancy – 1 Component Trustee Position (1 year mandate)
There remains one (1) vacant Component Trustee position (1-year mandate) to fill the remainder of the term ending on January 31, 2024. In accordance with the Air Transat Component Bylaws, the call for nominations for this position is being issued.
Congratulations to Patricia Kelly (YVR) who was acclaimed as Component Trustee (2-year mandate) on December 15th 2022.
This is a great opportunity if you have been thinking about getting involved in the Union but are unsure as to how much time you can commit. Trustees play an important role, ensuring accountability for the financial affairs of the membership.
Members who desire to be nominated for the position of Component Trustee (1-year mandate), shall file nomination papers and must have at least 50 signatures from eligible voters on the “Membership List”.
NOTE: Nomination forms and instructions will be available from the Component Tabulating Committee at attabulating@gmail.com
Candidates shall disclose their full name and intended position (Component Trustee, 1-year mandate) clearly on the nomination papers prior to soliciting signatures.
* IMPORTANT: Due to the current COVID-19 Pandemic, and on an exceptional basis, the Component Tabulating Committee will accept electronic signatures on nomination forms for the vacant Component Trustee position. An electronic signature must be the member’s actual signature and not simply the member’s name typed onto the nomination form. This will allow for members not actively in the workplace to nominate a candidate for a delegate position.
The nomination form must be filled out in its entirety by the candidate, signed off and dated prior to scanning for electronically received signatures. We are doing this to ensure all members have an opportunity to run, as well as ensure all members have an opportunity to collect signatures.
DEADLINE: Completed, original nomination sheets, along with a short (one paragraph) cover letter from the candidate accepting his/her nomination, must be received by the Tabulating chair no later than 4:00PM (EST) March 11, 2023 at the following address:
AIR TRANSAT COMPONENT TABULATING COMMITTEE
34015 – 604 MT.PLEASANT.RD. TORONTO, ON
M4S 2M8
Nomination sheets received after 4:00PM (EST) March 11, 2023 will NOT be accepted.
The Tabulating Committee recommends sending your documentation by registered mail or courier to ensure timely delivery and receipt.
In Solidarity,
Maria Zongos, for your component Tabulating Committee
