YOUR NEW DIRECTION TOP OFFICER AND EXECUTIVE BOARD CANDIDATES

Patricia Morris Felecia Browning Julia Curry Mennen Gibbs
(President) (Vice President) (Financial Secretary) (Recording Secretary)

As candidates in the upcoming election we would like to first take the opportunity to express our gratitude towards all of our supporters and those who have returned the surveys addressed to the New Direction Team. We appreciate your feedback. The information from the surveys will give the New Direction Team the opportunity to address your issues and concerns, during the negotiation period once we are elected to office. Remember any candidate has the option to distribute information to the membership for their concerns including surveys, because there is not an official survey process, established in the Constitution, Bylaws, nor Master Labor Agreement. Please continue to return your surveys to us. “Your Opinions Matters”
