2022 Executive Board Election Results

 

 

In October 2022, union members voted for 8 of the 9 members of ALE’s Executive Board (EB), who will serve a two-year term.

Election Notes

ALE’s first EB, which was elected by the membership in November 2021, is serving a one-year term. This was approved last year in order to ensure that the hundreds of new Council staff in this session have the opportunity to select their union leadership in 2022. EB members are welcome to run for re-election. The 9th member of the EB, the Stewards’ Representative, is elected directly by ALE’s Stewards.
