AV - Atlantic Regional Representative Report

I was elected Atlantic Regional Representative on June 1, 2015. I am a member of the following sub-committees: communications, by-laws and AGM.

In terms of membership, we have 508 members in our Region (second to the National Capital Region).  

Activities for this past year of 2017 were trying to get more AV representation in this region. AV interest was shown at the Atlantic Regional Council in Charlottetown and the Steward Council in Halifax. We now have AV representation in all Atlantic Provinces. Recruiting more stewards will be a priority going forward.     

We currently have four (4) subgroups in our region: Fredericton, Halifax, Moncton and St. John’s. I had the pleasure of attending all four subgroup’s AGM to provide information on issues that affect our membership. Members have shown interest in forming a sub-group in Sydney, NS.

In an effort to increase visibility in the Atlantic Region, the AV Executive delivered an information session in Moncton last September. 

I attended the Halifax Branch AGM in December and would be available to attend other Regional Branch AGMs upon member’s request.

Regional events:

  • Atlantic Regional Training School, April 12 - 14 (Halifax)
  • Atlantic Young Professionals Committee, May 24 - 25 (Moncton)
  • Atlantic Regional Council, May 25 - 26 (Moncton)

I will continue to seek more ways to engage even more members.
