        Pre-Merger Alaska MEC Committee Chairperson Election Results

        December 3, 2025 13:05 Leave a Comment

        This message is for pre-merger Alaska Flight Attendants

        During this week’s MEC Meeting, our MEC held interviews for the next group of pre-merger Alaska MEC Committee Chairperson positions to be elected for the upcoming MEC Officer term. We want to thank everyone who expressed interest in the available positions and their willingness to serve. After careful consideration and deliberation, the following candidates have been elected:

        MEC Benefits Committee Chairperson: Dianna Ripley
        MEC Employee Assistance Program (EAP)/Professional Standards Committee Chairperson: 
        Melanie Buker
        MEC Employee Assistance Program (EAP)/Professional Standards Committee Vice Chairperson: Elizabeth Dillon
        MEC Retirement Committee Chairperson:
         Deb Wallstrom

        These newly elected MEC Committee Chairpersons will carry out their respective roles specific to our six pre-merger Alaska Local Councils as we continue to navigate the merger process. They’ll begin the transition into their roles over the next few weeks, with their official term beginning on January 1, 2026. They will serve for the upcoming MEC Officer election cycle from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2028.

        If you have any questions about the pre-merger Alaska MEC Committee Chairperson elections, please reach out to your LEC President.
