President Report:

 

President Scott announced that Secretary-Treasurer Leonard Kelley has officially announced his retirement effective September 29th, 2021. The Executive Board met shortly after the announcement to appoint an Interim Secretary-Treasurer until we can have a special election. Because of the timing, it was decided to run the Special Election for this position at the same time as our normal election cycle, which starts in December with nominations and a vote in January 2022 at the delegate meeting.  The Executive Board voted to make Charlotte Murry, Interim Secretary-Treasurer until the end of January 2022.

 

            We will be taking nominations for the following positions in December:

 

            President, Sergeant of Arms, Trustee 1, Trustee 3, and Trustee 5, and Secretary-Treasurer

 

Interim Secretary-Treasurer Report:

 

The COPE Committee had a very productive meeting, which started the process of creating a Local Political Agenda for the region.  Next meeting November 8th at 6 pm

 

The Education Committee had a meeting to discuss having a joint workshop on Race & Labor with the Washington State Labor Council.  It was decided to wait until February to host this event. Next meeting November 10th at 6 pm

Marysville’s School District has invited Interim Secretary-Treasurer Murry to participate in their General Advisory Committee for CTE. She stated she was excited for the opportunity to help mold future educational opportunities for students in our region.

 

She also reported on the Aerospace Task Force Meeting and a presentation around the work being done at Eviation Aircraft, in the Arlington Industrial Complex with electric commuter plane development and their Alice prototype.  They also announced in that meeting that Eviation has already received an order for 12 aircraft to be delivered in 2024 for DHL, a cargo transport company.

 

Interim Secretary-Treasurer Murry also asked for delegates to submit union members for Veteran’s Day recognition.  She then reported that we have received a grant for $1250 to put toward a new laptop for the council from the CLC Network and that many of our endorsed candidates are looking for last minute help with their campaigns and would appreciate the extra help.
