We are excited to introduce the PEA's Giving Back 2010 initiative this spring.
The Association Executive of the Professional Employees Association has approved changes to Policy 6.6, Grants & Donations. Currently, the Grants & Donations Committee makes recommendations to the Executive for funds distribution based on requests sent from various not-for-profit groups.
Since this is your union, the Association Executive felt that you should have a say in who should receive grants and donations from the PEA.
The amendments, found under Section B.3, say that members will have the opportunity to nominate individuals or organizations, other than labour organizations, to receive PEA grants and donations. The Grants & Donations Committee will review all nominations received from members and compile a short-list of nominated individuals and organizations.
This is your chance to tell the rest of the membership which organizations or individuals you think the PEA should support.
Members can nominate an individual or organization to receive a PEA grant or donation until 11:59PM on March 15th. Once the nomination deadline has passed, the Grants & Donations Committee will compile a short-list of nominated candidates.
On April 1st, the short-list will be released and e-ballots will be available for members to vote among the candidates. Voting is open to all PEA members for the month of April, and the recipients will be announced on the first day of the Education Conference in Vancouver this May.
Members in good standing have the opportunity to nominate one or more individuals or organizations, other than labour organizations, to receive funds from the PEA, from February 1st until March 15th.
To submit a nominee, simply fill out the form below (or click here). We want to understand why your nominee is important, and why you feel the PEA should provide funding to them. It is important that you fill out this form in its entirety so that your fellow members know why this organization is vital and deserves a PEA grant or donation.
Once you have completed the form, click on submit. You will receive a confirmation email noting that your nomination was received shortly after submitting your form.
All members will have the opportunity to vote among the short-listed candidates. Voting will open on April 1st and remain open for the entire month of April.
Ballots will be cast and tabulated through an online e-balloting system. PEA members will use their login credentials to vote and may only vote once.
The results will be tabulated at the start of May, and the recipients of the PEA grants and donations will be announced at the Education Conference and posted online.
Please call our Victoria office at 800.779.7736 (toll-free) with any questions or concerns. Alternatively, you may send general questions or concerns via our contact us form.
The following form must be filled out by 11:59PM, March 15, 2010. Complete every field and double check that all information is correct.
