AFSCME Convention Delegates/Alternates – Limited Attendance to Convention

ASEA/AFSCME Local 52 has been allocated 12 delegate positions to the AFSCME Convention, however, attendance and expenses will be limited to six (6) delegates due to sufficient funds not being available to send a full delegation. (See below, ASEA Constitution, Article 14.01.B). The top three (3) elected at-large delegates will attend with the President, Secretary and Treasurer, as designated in the ASEA Constitution, Article 14.01.A.

Please note, all Delegates and 12 alternates will be credentialed with AFSCME. Delegates and Alternates that wish to attend at their own expense will be provided Business Leave for attendance and participation at the Convention.

In May 2018, the ASEA State Executive Board voted unanimously to limit attendance at the AFSCME Biennial convention to the 6 members (president, secretary, treasurer and 3 at large delegates) as required by article 14.01 A & B of the ASEA Constitution, due to sufficient funds not being available to send a full delegation.
