Regional meetings are an excellent forum for HSA members to review the issues and activities of the past year, and discuss the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. The meeting will be chaired by your Region 3 & 7 Directors, Bruce MacDonald and Marg Beddis. HSA president Reid Johnson will report on union activities since the April 2008 Convention.
This year, delegates in odd-numbered regions (1,3,5,7 and 9) will elect Members-at-Large who will begin their term at the conclusion of the unions 2009 annual convention.
All HSA members are encouraged to attend this meeting. However, only those members who have -delegate status" will be eligible for reimbursement of expenses.
If you are interested in attending the regional meeting, please contact your Chief Steward. All application forms must be signed by the Chief Steward.
In conjunction with the regional meeting, HSA will be holding a one-day education workshop open to all regional meeting delegates. This years workshop will include 2 half-day sessions, with a focus on selected contract interpretation issues for one half of the day, and the other half devoted to discussion and recommendations about the unions strategic plan. In the Lower Mainland (Regions 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7), delegates will have the choice of three dates:
Thursday, October 30th, Monday, November 3rd
or Wednesday, November 12th.
