Hello fellow IT Professionals,

The IT Executive elections 2025 are beginning soon to fill multiple positions. I would like to submit my nomination for Member at Large for three (3) years.

For the past 3 years I have happily served as a ‘Member at Large` in the role of Membership Officer on the IT Executive. Being able to actively participate and help organize the yearly IT AGM, the National PIPSC AGM and chair the caucus for this event is very rewarding. It takes a lot of organizing and communication skills but I really enjoy and (MS) “excel” at these tasks. As an IT Executive, it also means being prepared and engaged at meetings that are always productive and dynamic, where all executives are able to express differing opinions and have an impact on decisions.

I have been very active in the union for the last 18 years and engaged as an activist, a steward, a Consultation President and an executive on many groups and branches. I have worked at DND, CRA, CBSA and collaborated with many of the members from different departments, affording me a broad insight into members concerns and pressures. The experiences and knowledge have aided me in working with the IT Executive on many items over the last years and during a very tough pandemic. This next year we will begin to bargain again for our group, and we are continuing to challenge the government on contracting out.

Thank-you for your ongoing support.
