CSEA Board Meets by Phone Tonight

Here's some information on upcoming CSUEU, CSEA, and SEIU meetings, from an email sent out this afternoon by Ronnie Grant, Vice President for Organizing:

Dave Hart has called a special meeting of the CSEA Board of Directors for tonight (1/14) at 5:30 p.m. by telephone conference call. The only agenda item is adoption of a resolution to change the location of the 2009 General Council from the Sacramento Convention Center to the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles. CSEA estimates a $25,540 cost savings by moving the location, mostly due to the elimination of $21,120 in shuttle bus expense and complementary meeting space from the Westin.

The agenda and backup material is attached.

Future meetings:

• CSUEU Communications Committee: today, 1/14, CSUEU's 10th St office
• CSU Board of Trustees meeting: Tue-Wed 1/22 and 1/23, Chancellor's Office, 401 Golden Shore, Long Beach
• CSUEU Finance Committee: Fri 1/25, CSUEU's 10th St office
• CSUEU Executive Officer Committee: Sat 1/26, CSUEU's 10th St office
• CSEA Board regular meeting: Sunday 1/27, Holiday Inn Capitol Plaza, Sacramento
• Meeting with CSUEU Executive Officers and SEIU Area Director re obtaining SEIU resources for contract campaign: Wed 2/6 SEIU's Oakland office
• SEIU State Council: Mon-Tue 2/11 and 2/12, Holiday Inn Capitol Plaza, Sacramento

Note that CSEA should be mailing every Chapter President an agenda for the 1/27 meeting. I got my copy today. If you are a Chapter President and do not receive an agenda by this Friday, email me so I may investigate. In accordance with the CSEA Policy File, the agenda should also be posted at:

Note: the agenda and backup material mentioned were missing from the forwarded copy. We will try to get a copy and post them. At this writing, they do not appear to be on the CSEA web site.
