Dear JCEA ARs,
I appreciate and recognize that a lot of time, energy, and thought was put into Tuesday night’s debate, discussion and motion that ultimately was voted on. Yesterday while reviewing the minutes and vote tallies from council it became apparent that we did not have a quorum at the point the final motion was voted upon. I know that your time is precious and it is always a difficult balance for us to maintain ample space for rich discussion on such important topics while also asking folks to stay beyond our usual two hour timeframe.
We had 75 ARs present for the final vote and we need 96 to constitute a quorum, therefore the motion didn’t actually pass. As a result, following our by-laws and standing rules, the JCEA Executive committee is calling for an emergency AR Council meeting on Tuesday January 19th for a one hour session to reconsider this motion.
We need you in the room to represent your members to clarify our path forward. We are a democratically run organization and must continue to conduct ourselves as such.
I appreciate every single one of you and your hard work and dedication to both your members and your union. Please join us Tuesday night at 4:30 pm to come to a resolution on this critical issue.
In Solidarity,
Brooke Williams, JCEA President
