A&R held its Annual Convention on April 22nd. We thank all of the members who were able to participate. This was our union's 38th Annual Convention, maintaining a long standing tradition. We are proud we were able to conduct the consitutionally required business of the union in a safe manner, despite the pandemic. While little business was before the Convention, plenty of comraderie could be found. With only the Annual Budget up for consideration, the business portion of the meeting was brief. Treasurer Ally Sexton (Department of Transportation) presented the budget to the assembled delegates, and she answered questions from the floor of the Convention. After discussion the Annual Budget passed unanimously. Other officers of the union were on hand to answer member questions. Formal, written Officer Reports were distributed. The necessary business of our union was successfully conducted. Thank you to those that attended.
