The 2011 AGM has come and gone, with it is a new executive with a new mandate to improve communication for the general membership. Let me take this opportunity to introduce all members, to the new executive. Bonnie Gostola, will serve another two year term as your chair. Michelle Goldstone has taken on the position of the Vice-Chair. Ellen Rensby will continue on as the Treasurer. Finally, in the position of the Secretary, we welcome Louise Hart. We are now a full executive of four, up from last year's three. Thank-you to Donna Lyons for her commitment over the past two terms, in the position of Vice Chair. Her dedication tyou, the members, was always her first priority and she will be missed. Congratulations to all of the Long Service Award winners who attended the AGM and received their certificates and pins.
Looking forward into the future, are members should be seeing some needed improvement in the communication between the executive and the members. We are coming into some very interesting and possibly challenging times. Information will be tantamount to the success of any actions taken in the union. This is the final year of a four year collective agreement, so look for the start of the bargaining process once we get through the summer.
Things coming up in the near future and to look for: Nurses Week, AUPE GSS/AUX Nursing BBQ's and the swimming pool party and potluck picnic.
