NOMINATION MADE FOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SEAT

 

The New York Guild’s Representative Assembly (RA) has named Time, Inc. acting Unit Chairperson John Shostrom as its candidate to fill the vacant Local Executive Committee seat formerly occupied by Time, Inc. Unit Chairperson Alex Blanco, who recently lost his job in a major staff reduction.

 

Shostrom was unopposed at the April 11^th RA meeting, following his nomination.

 

Additional candidates for the Executive Committee post may be made via petitions and by not less than 5% of the membership in good standing, and filed with Secretary-Treasurer Bill O’Meara by 5:00 p.m. April 19, 2007.

 

If no petitions are filed by the deadline, John Shostrom will be declared elected at that time.  In the event of a contest, the candidate will run on The Democratic Coalition Slate, and the election will be conducted entirely by mail ballot.
