Nominations for AESES Board of Representatives

Nominations for AESES Board of Representatives Now Open

According to AESES’ Constitution, the highest authority for deciding policies and managing the affairs of the Association is the membership of the Association. For administrative purposes, the membership is divided geographically into Districts. Between General Meetings, the management, direction and control of the affairs of the Association, including control over the Association’s funds, properties, other assets and raising of revenue, is vested in the Board of Representatives. Members of the Board of Representatives are elected from the membership. The Executive Council is then elected from the Board.

In terms of responsibilities, members of the Board of Representatives are to maintain a liaison with their District membership and act on their behalf at meetings. Board members sometimes act as officials of the Association in problem-solving and grievances, etc.

A nomination form for the Board for the forthcoming two-year term (May 2026 – April 2028) is found below. If you are aware of a member in your District who you feel would represent you well in this capacity, please nominate them. Be sure to obtain their signature and that of one other member on the nomination form.

Incumbent representatives must also submit their nomination form as each Board Representative is elected for a two-year term. If these members are also serving on the Association’s Electoral and Districting Committee, they must resign from it if they wish their names to stand for nomination to the Board. View the AESES District list here.

Please note that only signed AESES members may nominate, be nominated, or vote. Although dues are collected from all AESES support staff, they are only conferred full membership rights after they have signed a membership form, in accordance with Labour Law. Visit aeses.ca/membership to fill out a membership form.
