RE: BCGEU 52nd Triennial Constitutional Convention – Nomination & Election of Delegates and Alternates for the 2024 BCGEU Constitutional Convention

 The BCGEU 52nd Triennial Constitutional Convention will be taking place from Monday, May 27, 2024 to Saturday, June 1, 2024. The Constitutional Convention is where BCGEU members elect the President, Treasurer, and the four Executive Vice-Presidents and determine what the mandate of YOUR Union will be over the next three years.

 To attend Convention, you must be elected as a delegate (or alternate) of your Local. Local 1206 is entitled to 1 delegate (with the Local Chair attending by right) and 2 alternates.

 Nominations are now open for delegates (and alternates) to Convention.

Nominations are open from: Tuesday, January 23, 2024, and will close at the meeting on: Monday, February 12, 2024.

 If you would like to participate in the election of the delegates for your local, you must register. By registering, you will be able to receive an electronic ballot if an election is required. You may register to participate in the election using this link until 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 15, 2024. A non-work email address is required to ensure you receive your ballot (many employer email systems have firewalls which will prevent an electronic ballot from reaching your Inbox).

 If you would like to attend convention as a delegate or alternate, you must complete a nomination form and return it via email to [email protected]. If you don't have a nomination form, please contact the area office. Nominations will close at the local meeting on Monday, February 12, 2024, which starts at 6:00 pm. Your nomination form must include any bio you would like added to the ballot in the event that there is an election (max. 350 words plus one photo). No late bios will be accepted.

 If you would like to attend the Local Meeting on Monday, February 12, 2024, you must pre-register. Registration for the Local Meeting is required so that you receive the Zoom link for the meeting, which will be sent three business days prior to the meeting and again the day of the meeting.

 In solidarity

Faith Johnston, Local 1206 Chair
