Dear Members,

PHL TEMPORARY OFFICER POSITIONS

Council 70 President Laura Albert, Vice President Terry Graff and Secretary Mariellen Horgan have tendered their resignations effective December 1, 2006,

The AFA Constitution and Bylaws require that temporary officers be appointed by the MEC until membership nomination and election of permanent officers can take place. Nomination and election of officers to fill the balance of the current officers' terms will take place during the first quarter of 2007. The current officers' terms will expire June 30, 2008. The specific C & B reference is cited below:

ART 111.C.5. f. In the event a Local Council has no elected Officers:

(1) The Master Executive Council shall appoint a Temporary Local Council President, Vice President and Secretary until nominations and elections can be conducted in accordance with Article VIII.C.1. and 2. This nomination and election process should begin ninety (90) days after the commencement of such appointments.

(2) The Temporary Council Officers will have all the jurisdiction and duties as provided in Article III.C.3. and E.1. and all the rights and privileges of elected Officers, however, they may not vote as a representative in an election and recall of Officers except as provided in subparagraph (3) below, and in Article VII.F.

(3) The Temporary Local Council Officers will have the same privileges with respect to the nomination and election of permanent Local Council Officers as all other eligible members on that airline, and shall serve until permanent Officers have been elected.

The Master Executive Council will convene on November 29, 2006 to appoint temporary officers pursuant to the C & B. For clarification, the Master Executive Council is comprised of the Local Presidents from each Council (base) Ms. Albert will recuse herself from the appointment process. The temporary officers will assume their positions on Dec 1, 2006. MEC Vice President, Buddy Brannon, will assist the temporary officers as they transition into office. AFA International will provide the services of one International Staff Representative (ISR) to further facilitate the transition.
