Building on the momentum of our Membership Engagement Committee introduction video and this week’s look at the committee’s history, we’re excited to introduce the next feature of our July Committee Focus Month. Today, we’re launching an in-depth interview that offers an inside look at the mission and people powering the Membership Engagement Committee.
What You’ll Discover in This Interview
MEC Communications Committee Chairperson Brian Palmer recently sat down with MEC Membership Engagement Committee Chairperson Mischelle Fielsch for a conversation that goes beyond the basics and explores the “why” behind the committee’s mission and work. In this session, Mischelle shares:
- The Personal Spark: Her motivation to ensure that every Member—from new hires to our most senior Flight Attendants—feels supported and never “flying solo.”
- The Strategic Bridge: How the committee serves as a two-way street—amplifying important news from MEC Communications and ensuring your direct feedback reaches our AFA Officers to guide Union decisions.
- A Roadmap for the Future: How we’re building our Union’s future by empowering every Member to recognize their voice and discover the tools to use it.
