President’s Notes – ELECTION NOMINATIONS

Posted on

Hello JEA,
It’s election time!  JEA is announcing the open nomination period for JEA Executive Board seats.  Nominations for the vacancies listed below can be submitted by emailing Ben Kriegmont (jeapresident@gmail.com) – Nominations accepted through Friday, March 16th.

Why should you run?  JEA is a volunteer organization, and without our members’ involvement we’d be unable to function.  While Executive Board seats do carry a modest stipend, the main reason to run is to be in a position to affect positive change in your workplace, your career, and the education system in Juneau.  Please consider becoming more involved in your JEA.

There are 9 open positions (2 one-year positions, 7 two-year positions). See the details for open positions and job descriptions by clicking here (President’s Notes 2/21/12).

Hello JEA,

Things are getting busier and busier…I’ll be sending out these President’s Notes every few days, or daily, as issues and news warrants. Please take the time to read them…print them and share with friends who may not check email as frequently, and generally, just help disseminate this information.  Open the following link for your Feb. 1st edition, including information on the Early Release Survey, a change for the next Building Reps meeting, next week’s School Board Meeting, and what to do about “Rumors.”

-Ben Kriegmont, JEA President  2011-2012
