        Recap October 27 to November 7

        On behalf of your Council 47 Officers, Josh, Paul, and Beth, thank you for the support and trust you have shown in us during the recent elections. We are truly grateful to represent you for another three years and remain committed to putting you first in every decision we make.

        Our continued commitment to you is to listen, communicate openly, and act with transparency and accountability. The work ahead will take collaboration, patience, and persistence, but together we can build our future through this merger.

        Thank you again for standing with us.

        In Solidarity, 

        Josh, Paul and Beth
