As we transition to the new board, there are opportunities for members to service on one of the many EA committees. Please contact the new EA President Victor Douglas by Friday October 13 at 4 pm if you are interested in serving on one of the committees. Below is a list and description of the current EA Committees.
Meet and Confer:
The Meet and Confer Committee is comprised of four members and designated alternate for each member. The purpose of the M&C Committee is to study and make recommendations on working conditions, employee-employer relations and other matters, including but not limited recommendations on wages, benefits, hours and other terms and conditions of employment.
By Laws Committee:
The By-laws Committee is responsible for reviewing the Constitution & By-laws of the Association to determine if changes are needed.
Personnel Committee:
The Personnel Committee was created with the task of looking for a third-party lead negotiator.
Grievance Committee:
The Grievance Committee investigates potential membership grievances to determine validity and response of the grievance allegations. The Grievance Committee's primary task is to ensure compliance with the MOU.
Finance Committee:
The Finance Committee oversees and conducts audits of Board activity.
Social Committee:
The Social Committee is responsible for putting together all our social EA activities. The Social Committee works closely with the Air District in planning the summer picnic and children's holiday party. The Social Committee also evaluates suggestions from members for social events or ideas.
Archive Committee:
The Archive Committee is responsible for maintaining and documenting the history of the EA. In addition, the archive committee has also taken the role of maintaining EA surplus and supplies from various EA activities.
Nominating Committee:
The Nominating Committee solicits nominations and prepares a slate of consenting candidates for each office who are subject to election by membership. The Nominating Committee shall receive all announcements of candidates and nominations from membership and submit the complete listing of candidates and their qualifications to the EA Board of Directors for approval. This committee is chaired by the past president and probably won't reconvene until early 2019.
