Dear AFA-CWA Member,
In the ongoing cycle of democracy within AFA-CWA, elections at many of our carriers are currently underway or will soon begin. Your participation in the nominating and voting processes today will have a direct bearing on your future and the future of your carrier. They are your opportunity to elect your flying partners to union office - to choose people to serve the collective priorities of your work group and of your profession.

The structure of governance at AFA-CWA is completely and directly member-driven. The Local Council President you elect will serve on the AFA-CWA Master Executive Council which is the highest AFA-CWA governing body at your airline. Along with other Local AFA-CWA Council Presidents, they will form the highest governing body in your union, the AFA-CWA Board of Directors (BOD). In turn, the BOD directly elects the International officers who will guide our union as a whole, advocating at the highest levels of government and advancing our professional interests within our industry.

For up-to-date information about eligibility to vote, voting procedures, election schedules, nomination results, election results and to vote on-line, visit the AFA-CWA elections website at www.afanet.org/elections.
Take charge of your professional future by participating in your Local Council elections today!
In solidarity,
MEC Secretary-Treasurer Lynn Bible lbible@nwaafa.org
