Your Master Executive Council (MEC) Officers, Local Executive Council (LEC) Presidents, and many other LEC Officers and Committee Chairs will be attending the 46th Annual AFA Board of Directors (BOD) meeting next week in Atlantic City, New Jersey.  This annual meeting is where AFA conducts the business of our Union at the international level.

Schedule of Events

This schedule does not include necessary travel to/from Philadelphia (the closest airport served by Alaska Airlines) and surface travel to/from Atlantic City. Attendees will be traveling on the dates before and after the BOD meeting.

BOD Meeting Agenda Items

Your LEC President represents you and the other members of your Local Council on the Board of Directors and will be casting votes on your behalf at the BOD meeting.  Your MEC Officers serve in an ex-officio capacity on the BOD but do not have voting privileges.

A total of 24 advance agenda items were submitted for consideration by the Board at this meeting. Each LEC held a Local Council meeting over the past several weeks to discuss these agenda items and gain your feedback.  You can find a list of these agenda items and complete language at http://afa-bod.org/index-of-agenda-items.

International Officer Elections

In addition to the consideration of agenda items, AFA International Officer elections will also take place at this year’s BOD meeting.  As your directly elected representative, your LEC President will be voting on your behalf for the offices of International President, Vice President, and Secretary-Treasurer.  For more information about International Officer elections including a list of announced candidates, click here.
