The COVID-19 (coronavirus) world pandemic has had a devastating effect on our industry, our careers, our personal lives and families. Beyond this, many state and local ordinances are restricting the ability to gather groups and this will impact our Spring 2020 Regular Meeting of the United Master Executive Council. In addition to the limited ability to gather in groups, there are a number of cities that have issued “Shelter in Place orders.”Reductions to United’s flight schedule are making travel to a central location difficult. While we had planned to conduct our quarterly meeting in Rosemont, IL, our current circumstances are requiring we make alternate arrangements and that planning is currently in progress.
Elections for MEC Officers and MEC Committee positions will be conducted at the Spring 2020 Regular Meeting. Election information, including qualifications and responsibilities of each position, is now available on the MEC Election Page of our website.
All active Members in good standing interested in serving in one of the positions listed on theMEC Elections page,should submit a resume and/or a signed “Willingness to Serve” statement.
In order to ensure the Membership is familiar with all of the candidates running for election, we ask that you submit your Willingness to Serve with as much notice as possible prior to the election date.Willingness to Serve statements and resumes should be sent to the United MEC Secretary/Treasurer by e-mail at mecsec@unitedafa.org.
In the interest of protecting our privacy, Willingness to Serve Statements should not include personal information or employment history as they will be posted on the United MEC website for public viewing. Resume information, if desired, should be in a separate document and will be shared with the Members of the MEC for their consideration and review. We will be providing additional information on the interview process for this meeting which is being held under extraordinary circumstances.
