  5. E) 4 Directors, one of whom will be elected from the SRC group<\/span><\/li>\n

      \n

      Reason for change\u2026\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

      The Recording Secretary combined with Communications is a big job. It is important that the Communications portion of the role is illustrated in the title.<\/span><\/p>\n

      ——————————————————————————————————————————<\/span><\/p>\n

      QUESTION # 2\u2026<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      Current Article 6.3\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

      The Recording Secretary shall attend Executive meetings of the Location Unit Executive, and shall keep full, accurate and impartial account of the proceedings of all regular or special membership and Executive meetings, and will distribute minutes of any meeting within ten working days of the meeting, and report on all correspondence and fulfill other secretarial duties as directed by the Executive, and file a copy of all letters sent out and keep on file all communications, and co-ordinate the preparation and distribution of all circulars and notices to members, and have all records ready on reasonable notice for audit by CMG or Location Trustees, and will keep electronic copies of Toronto Location Units By-Laws, Policies, correspondence, and relevant files, and preside over Membership and Executive Meetings and preserve order in the absence of both the President and the Vice-President, and on termination of office, surrender all documents and other properties of the Location Unit to the duly elected successor.\u00a0 The Recording Secretary will ensure communications between the Location Unit Executive and the membership are on-going and supported.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Proposed Article 6.3<\/b><\/p>\n

      The Recording Secretary<\/span>\/Communications<\/b> shall attend Executive meetings of the Location Unit Executive, and shall keep full, accurate and impartial account of the proceedings of all regular or special membership and Executive meetings, and will distribute minutes of any meeting within ten working days of the meeting, and report on all correspondence and fulfill other secretarial duties as directed by the Executive, and file a copy of all letters sent out and keep on file all communications, and co-ordinate the preparation and distribution of all circulars and notices to members, and have all records ready on reasonable notice for audit by CMG or Location Trustees, and will keep electronic copies of Toronto Location Units By-Laws, Policies, correspondence, and relevant files, and preside over Membership and Executive Meetings and preserve order in the absence of both the President and the Vice-President, and on termination of office, surrender all documents and other properties of the Location Unit to the duly elected successor.\u00a0 The Recording Secretary<\/span>\/Communications<\/b> will ensure communications between the Location Unit Executive and the membership are on-going and supported.<\/span> They are the de-facto chair of the Communications Committee.<\/b><\/p>\n

      Reason for change\u2026\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

      As the LEC member in charge of communications, it makes sense to have this position chair the committee that handles communications.<\/span><\/p>\n

      ——————————————————————————————————————————<\/span><\/p>\n

      QUESTION # 3\u2026<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      Current Article 7.4\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

      Proposed Article 7.4\u2026.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Chief Steward will also <\/span>recruit,<\/b> assist,<\/span> train<\/b> and mentor Stewards, and ensure communication from the union reaches stewards, and that concerns brought forward by stewards are addressed. <\/span>The Chief Stewards should run a minimum of 2 formal stewards training sessions annually, and encourage members to join the stewards network.<\/b><\/p>\n

      Reason for change\u2026.<\/b><\/p>\n

      In an effort to always be expanding the stewards network in Toronto, Chief Stewards should be actively encouraging members to become stewards and offering a minimum of 2 formal stewards training each calendar year to facilitate the expansion of the network.<\/span><\/p>\n
