Hello Fellow Classified Employee's and guests.

I hope all of you have had an amazing holiday, and thank you to all of our members who didn't get time off and spent the last two weeks, cleaning and fixing our buildings and those of you in administration who tirelessly work on the paperwork that keeps our district functioning, Thank you for your continued work for all of us. 

January is a busy month for our local! Nominations for CEA  board of directors. Elections for President, Secretary, Vice Treasurer, and three Member at Large positions are open. If you want to step up and help our members then sign up on this form. That window will close on January 10th at 5pm. The election will be February 7th to February 16th at 5pm. We will announce the winners at the February 16th General Membership meeting. 

The 2023 Delegate Assembly will be held at Captain Cook Hotel from the 19th to 21st of January. Our delegates have been elected and have participated in various meetings to get prepared for this huge event!

I will be heading to Juneau at the end of the month to talk with legislators about our retirement and hopefully inflation proofing the BSA. This trip is paid for NEA-Alaska Legislative Action  

ESP week Raffle was held in November and only three prizes have been picked up! Find the winning numbers here! You have till the end of January to pick these up or they will roll over into new contests!
