Council 18 LAX Officer Election Results

April 21, 2013

 

 

Dear Flight Attendants,

 

 

The Council 18 LAX officer election ended at noon Pacific Time on Tuesday, April 16, 2013. Nominations and elections are governed by procedures outlined in the Association’s Constitution & Bylaws, Article VIII and the AFA Policy Manual. The results are as follows:

 

President: Sandra Morrow

Vice President: Kelly Johnson

Secretary: Kelese Stallings

Council Representative: David Lehman

 

The upcoming three year term for Council 18 officers is from July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2016. The Master Executive Council (MEC) congratulates the officers-elect and we sincerely thank all those who stepped forward to run in the election.

 

[Note from MEC President Jeff Peterson: This was a particularly eventful week for us because of all the developments surrounding negotiations—and the Boston Marathon bombings occurred on Monday as well. It was an honest error that the Council 18 election results were not posted that day (or during the week, for that matter). I personally apologize to all LAXFAs and SANFAs for the oversight!]

 

 

In solidarity,

 

 

Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Terry Taylor, Yvette Gesch, Melanie Buker, Laura Masserant, Cathy Gwynn and Sandra Morrow
