 UTE (three locals, Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby-Fraser) asked PSAC to facilitate the Local Officer Course for our executive members.  PSAC normally pays $25.00 per person to attend these courses.  PSAC has advised the locals that they will not pay the usual $25 because it was initiated by UTE.  The Executive discussed and agreed that the three participants should be paid by the local.  MSC

 Because the Local monthly meeting is immediately after working hours and during the dinner hour we have agreed after consultation with the Regional Office to provide food at the meetings.  MSC

 Staffing course – The Regional office has requested names be submitted of willing participants.  David Grant, Ed Painter and Wendy Webber have asked that their names be put forward.

 Presidents’ Conference- September 20-24:  Names for observers must be submitted by the end of July.  Ed Painter, Wendy Webber and Terry Ruyter have expressed interest. 

 We desperately need Floor Representatives to help distribute information to the membership.  We also need Shop Stewards to help with the grievances. 

Names should be submitted to the Local Executive.

 EAP Conference is November 24, 25 & 26.  Members interested in attending should submit their names with a brief explanation of their involvement with EAP and why they would like to attend to the local executive.
