Stewards Council Meeting – August 20th

The next Stewards Council (SC) meeting will be August 20th at 10am just prior to the General Membership Meeting (GMM) on the same day beginning at 11:30am. SC will also meet in the same room as the GMM: Bethune 320.

All departmental Stewards are encouraged to attend and all general members are welcome. We will have coffee, tea and some light breakfast type snacks. We’ll be planning for upcoming orientations and need your support!

Highlights of our meeting include soliciting departmental steward involvement in upcoming orientations which begin August 28th.  Chief Stewards need your help! Orientations are also a great opportunity to meet new members of your department and tell them all about the great benefits and funds they have access to as 3903 members.

A tentative agenda for the meeting is below.
