Two District Board Of Trustees’ Seats Up For Election

body

Do you want to get involved with the leadership of your union? One of the best ways to do so is to serve on the VSEA Board of Trustees. VSEA District 2 Trustee, Ben Webster, and VSEA District 4 Trustee, Roy Catella, announced recently that they would be stepping down from their elected Board of Trustees seats. Because there is still more than a year remaining in their current terms, an election is required to fill their seats.

To be eligible to run for one of these District Trustee positions you must reside in, or have an assigned workstation in one of the districts listed below:

  • District 2 – Waterbury & Vermont Psychiatric Care Hospital
     
  • District 4 – Franklin/Grand Isle, Chittenden, Addison

If you are interested in running for this VSEA Board of Trustees’ seat there are two ways to do so. Learn more here.
