This is the first year our Local Council will be using the election self-nomination process. This process was adopted during the 2024 Board of Directors meeting and is intended to make it easier for everyone to participate in Local Council elections by allowing a Flight Attendant to self-nominate for any of the LEC Officer positions with at least one endorsement of an active member in good standing. Please see the Self-Nomination Guide for more information about the process on how to ensure that your name will appear on the election ballot.
Election Schedule
- April 30: Voting Notices mailed
- May 5: Polls open
- May 19: Polls close at 9:00 AM HT
All members in good standing are both invited and encouraged to participate in this important process. If you or someone you know are interested in running for local office, it would be helpful to review Article III and Article VIII.C of the AFA-CWA Constitution and Bylaws and to become familiarized with the LEC Officer duties. Your LEC Officers are happy to speak with anyone who may be interested in running for office or who may just want a better understanding about the positions and/or the election process.
Please feel free to reach out to us directly or email us at hnl@afahawaiian.org.
Mahalo!
