2026 HSA Annual Convention set for April 15 - 17
HSA’s 55th annual convention is set for Wednesday, April 15 to Friday, April 17, 2026 in Vancouver.
Resolutions
The deadline for submitting resolutions to the union office for consideration at the annual convention is midnight, January 16, 2026.
HSA members who want to raise issues at convention are encouraged to participate in their local chapter or worksite, meeting. Resolutions must be submitted by members and voted on at these local meetings.
The deadline for receipt of resolutions in the HSA office is midnight on Friday, January 16, 2026.
Any resolutions submitted past the deadline will not be considered.
Delegates
Some members have automatic delegate status: lead stewards, current and incoming members of the board of directors, members-at-large, and members of committees reporting to convention. These members are automatically entitled to delegate status and have voting rights at convention.
Delegates must be elected to represent HSA members from their worksite at the convention. Without an election, delegate status will not be granted to any HSA member who is not a lead steward, current or incoming member of the board of directors, member-at-large, or member of an HSA committee reporting to convention.
Members who do not have automatic delegate status may not register for convention without having been elected at a local chapter meeting.
All delegates must register for convention by the registration deadline, which will be posted on the HSA website in the new year.
Watch your email or contact your lead steward for more information about resolutions and delegate election meetings at your worksite.
