March 21 - Chapter Meeting

From Vicki Ascher, Chapter 327 President:


Dear Members,

Please see the attached AGENDA for our March 21st Chapter meeting.  Also attached are last month's MINUTES.

Also, we will conduct a Chapter vote to elect our Area B Director.  There are 10 Areas throughout the state of California and each has one Director.  This person represents our Area (B) on the CSEA Board of Directors.   INFORMATION about the two candidates is attached.  We are required to have three Election Tellers to conduct the secret ballot.  If you are interested in helping out with that, please let me know.  The process is very simple – it just needs to be done according to CSEA rules. 

Looking forward to seeing you next week J

CSEA check-in

From Vicki Ascher, Chapter 327 President:


Dear Walker Creek Ranch CSEA members,

We had planned to hold a monthly chapter meeting at WCR in April, but unfortunately, we are unable to do so.  We will schedule a site visit to WCR in May instead, during Classified School Employee Week (the week of May21).  We will send out a specific date when it is calendared.  Our regular Chapter meeting will take place at MCOE on April 18 at 3:30pm.

In the meantime, please see the two items of interest below:

* WCR employees have 100 hours of "release time" as contained in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Article 4.3.  You may use release time to attend Chapter meetings at MCOE or any other Association business.

* On Tuesday, March 13, our Initial Proposals for both blue and green units will be "sun-shined" (required by law to be made public) at the Marin County Board of Education meeting at MCOE.  There will not be discussion on the specifics of the proposals, but it would be a good idea for as many Chapter members as possible to attend to show our unity.  Please try to come if you can.  The meeting starts at 3:30 but our item will probably not be heard until at least 4pm.

Chapter Meeting - February 28

From Vicki Ascher, Chapter 327 President:


Dear Members,

We have a Chapter Meeting on Wednesday, February 28 at 3:30pm in Room A.   Click here for the AGENDA and the MINUTES from our last meeting in December for your review.

Items of business include tax return discount info. from H&R Block, an update on our Professional/Personal Growth fund, and nominations for the new position of 2nd Vice President.  Regarding the 2nd VP vacancy, your Executive Board is nominating a candidate, Christine Franceschi, for the position.

Any member in good standing is eligible to run – you must attend the chapter meeting and can either nominate yourself or have someone else nominate you.  If there is more than one candidate, we will have a secret ballot vote at the meeting.   These election procedures are found in our Chapter Constitution and By-Laws in Article IV, Section 6.  Please contact me if you have any questions. 

The 2nd VP assists the president in his/her duties and/or as may be assigned by the executive board.  The 2nd VP also works with the Chief Union Steward to call and conduct periodic meetings between Site Representatives and Union Stewards.

We look forward to expanding your leadership team!


Hope to see you on Feb. 28th  (If you aren’t able to attend the entire hour, the election will most likely take place at about 3:50-4pm.   You could come for that portion of the meeting if you’d like to participate.)

Hello Chapter #327,

Hope your New Year is off to a great beginning

I want to let you know about two items:

If you have ever considered becoming a Site Rep or would like to learn more about what that position is all about, there will be a Site Rep Training  on Thursday, February 1 at MCOE, 4:30 -6:30.  Our fabulous Labor Relations Representative, Markey Lees is presenting the workshop, so it’s sure to be a good time.  Registration is appreciated – click here to see details on the flyer.
