Board of Directors

The Executive Committee (EC) is comprised of the 4 executive officers duly elected by the delegates at the Annual Delegates’ Conference (ADC) with the fifth member being the Board Chair who is elected from among their District Director peers. The President/CEO chairs the EC.

The Board, Executive Committee and President/CEO, in descending order, are responsible for the day-to-day management of the union’s operation in accordance with approved policies and procedures. The Chief Operating Officer is meant to assist all three in their efforts and is a non-voting member of the EC.

In the same manner, that the ADC delegates authority to the Board to carry out daily operation, the Board further delegates special authorities to the Executive Committee for its oversight.

As such, the EC functions as the Personnel Committee, the Investment Committee, the Bargaining Readiness Working Group, as overseer of Strategic Planning, as caretaker of Disciplinary Matters, and exercises financial delegation of authority for the Board in-year.

As Personnel Committee, the EC in conjunction with the COO, oversee staffing structure and complement, as well as labour relations and bargaining. The President/CEO sits on the Senior Management Team in a reciprocal fashion. As Investment Committee, the EC receives regular reports from the Treasurer/CFO, Director of Finance & Administration and the Investment Advisor ensuring policy and procedure are being followed. As the Bargaining Readiness Working Group, the EC maintains strategic oversight of all bargaining efforts. As overseer of Strategic Planning, the EC utilize the President/CEO and COO to lead planning, monitor progress and adapt priorities accordingly. As caretaker of Disciplinary Matters, the EC enforces By-laws 9, 4 and 10 and acts as an appellant body for mediation and arbitration denials. The EC carries out the Board’s in-year financial authority for budget approvals, tendering and purchasing, and expense reimbursement discretionary approvals.

Finally, the EC is afforded the ability to comment collectively on all reports coming to the greater Board of Directors, from its perspective as primary day-to-day overseer of operations.

The Activist Recognition Committee is responsible for inviting nominations for, and selecting recipients of, awards recognizing achievements by AMAPCEO activists.

The Health, Safety & Wellness Committee, through education, promotion and with a problem-solving approach to issues, fosters an environment of health, safety, and wellness for members and the families both within and outside the workplace.

It also develops, administers, and evaluates policies, procedures, and training for workplace representation; monitors employers’ application of agreements; and establishes appropriate linkages to other AMAPCEO committees and representative bodies.
