The BLET Education & Training Department is offering online training to help BLET Divisions prepare for the upcoming round of Triennial Elections, which are only a few weeks away. Nominations will be held at each Division’s first regular meeting in September of 2024.
Two Triennial Election refresher training classes for Local Division Presidents and Secretary-Treasurers will be held on August 15 (1:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m. EDT) and August 21 (11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. EDT). These classes will provide a valuable opportunity to review BLET Local Division nomination and election procedures. In addition to reviewing the information contained in the 2024 edition of On the Right Track, instructors will conduct mock nomination and election meetings during the classes. The classes will be conducted by Zoom and will accommodate group questions and answers. On the Right Track is the election manual designed to assist the officers who oversee the election process and members who are interested in running for office. An electronic version of On the Right Track is available for download in the document library within UnionTrack and the Members’ Area of the BLET website.
Division Presidents and Secretary-Treasurers should have received a UnionTrack alert and email with details. If you have not received the notification, please email David Estes, National Secretary-Treasurer and Department Head of the BLET Education and Training Department: estes@ble-t.org.
