I do not like the fact that 77 is having this meeting in Vegas and you have to be present to vote. I don't know what the ALPA bylaws are, but I don't like it.

However...the "election" that will be taking place in a motel conference room in Las Vegas, is only for the interim position, 5 month term.

The 3 year term vote will be by ballots, mailed to our homes. So we can all nominate and vote.

Per the email


"The ballots for the Group I new reps nominations for the term beginning March 1, 2015, and ending February 28, 2018, will mail on September 5. At the council meeting on September 23 we will be counting ballots; you do not have to be present for this process."



So the larger issue is who we elect for the full term that starts March 1.

So those of you in 77 that like to come on the boards and say how bad the MEC is, how we need a change, how it's corrupt. Well here is your chance. Announce your desire to be nominated for the full term starting in March. Realizing it's easier to just sit and complain about the current group of volunteers, because that's what they are, volunteers; change it if you don't like it.
