Brace yourselves: Convention is coming!

That’s the gist of today’s convention call-out, the letter officially announcing the 2014 convention’s imminent start. This year’s convention will take place in Victoria, British Columbia from August 10 to 15.

The call-out letter was sent to all locals earlier today – it contains important information for all Locals who wish to attend convention (that should be all our Locals!).

“At this point, the main focus should be to have your Local in conformance,” explained National President Doug Marshall. “The next steps would be to hold elections for convention delegates and start thinking about resolutions that ought to be presented at convention.”

A separate letter dealing solely with resolutions will follow shortly.

The Union of National Employees has also developed a convention package that complements the call-out letter; it contains an important checklist for Locals and delegates, and all the forms needed for delegates, alternate delegates and observers.  Those of you who have yet to step foot on Vancouver Island will be happy to hear that the package includes some breathtaking photos of Victoria.

Given that this is a convention year, we’re encouraging all our members to stay tuned to their emails and our website for more information. Don’t want to miss a beat? Consider following us on Facebook and Twitter or signing up for our e-newsletter.
