If you have any questions or would like to discuss running for election to the Board of Directors, please feel free to call or email me.
In other business, we will be voting on an item placed on the agenda at the last General Membership Meeting, which will amend the bylaws to allow for contracting with an online firm to conduct the Election electronically if the Board decides to do so. The proposed changes have been approved by the Board, but we will need a motion to approve by the General Membership. This should save us between $700 to $1,000 per election.
I will be updating us on where we will be at going into the next round of equity adjustments (raises) for members still underpaid according to the Classification and Compensation Study. Next year it is our greatest hope that we can complete the process of bringing our members up to the level of salaries in the competitive marketplace here in California. I should have some preliminary numbers of what that will take and what we will be fighting for come February of next year.
Both myself and Labor Representative Tony Silva will be updating you on current issues and answering your questions on the status of any other issues before us.
Cash Prizes!
2 members will win $50
4 members will win $25
30 members will win $10
Plus, anyone who dows not win a prize will have their ticket submitted AGAIN at the next General Membership Meeting, thus doubling their chances then. Name must be clearly written on ticket. Must be present to win, unless excused because of a return to work requirement.
This should be a fun and extremely informative night.
If at all possible, don't miss out folks. See you there!
Sam Frank, FCEA President
