The BCGEU's 52^nd Triennial Constitutional Convention will be taking place from Wednesday, May 29 to June 1, 2024. BCGEU members will elect the President, Treasurer, and five Executive Vice Presidents and will determine the mandate of YOUR union over the next three years.

To attend Convention, you must be elected as a delegate (or alternate) of your Local.

ELECTION OF DELEGATES & ALTERNATES TO CONVENTION

If you are interested in being a delegate to convention, please complete a nomination form and return it to the Fraser Valley Area Office no later than 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, February 27, 2024. Nomination forms will also be accepted at the meeting. If there are more nominations received than positions available, an election will be conducted by an electronic vote.

Along with your nomination form, you may submit a biography (max. 350 words) plus one photo (optional), however they must be submitted at the same time. No late bios or photos will be accepted. 

Nominations are now open and will CLOSE at 5:00 pm on Tuesday, February 27, 2024

Nomination forms will also be accepted at the meeting.

Registration to Vote for Delegates and to attend Local Meeting:

If you are interested in participating in the election of the delegates for your local, you must register. By registering you will receive an electronic ballot should an election be required.

A non-work email address is required to ensure you receive your ballot (many employer email systems have firewalls which prevent electronic ballots from reaching your inbox).

CONVENTION RESOLUTIONS 

Did you know that you did not have to attend Convention as a delegate in order to be part of the process? You can do so by submitting a resolution that may be put forward to Convention for consideration by delegates. Resolutions may ask that the Union take a position on an important issue, implement a new policy or change the Constitution or structure of the BCGEU. 

If you are interested in submitting a resolution, please complete the attached form and return it to the Fraser Valley Area Office No later than 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, February 27, 2024

Resolution forms will also be accepted at the meeting. 

LOCAL MEETING

If you would like to attend the local meeting and cannot attend in person you must pre register. You will receive the Zoom link three days prior to the local meeting and again the day of the meeting.
