Local Presidents & Secretaries;

Please be advised that during the proceedings of the NSGEU Triennial Convention held May 8 – 11, 2019, a change to By-Law 11.5 of the NSGEU Constitution & By-Laws was approved.

The change allows for more committee pool members per local. The original numbers were 2, 3 and 4 and have now changed to 4, 5 and 6. Please ensure that you take note of this for your upcoming elections.
