c. If a delegate leaves his/her constituency due to retirement, resignation, or has been off a current payroll (not paying union dues) for more than three (3) months, the delegate can not attend the convention.
7.

Attention Delegates: Information kits will be mailed the week of July 3rd

The 2000 PEF Convention will be held from Sunday, September 10, 2000 through Wednesday, September 13, 2000, in Syracuse, NY at the Syracuse Convention Center.
“Delegate representation to the Convention shall be assigned on a one member/one vote basis with one delegate per fifty (50) regular members or major fraction thereof. Representation for the Convention shall be based on the number of regular members paying dues as of the first pay period in May proceeding the Convention. Therefore, the total number of delegate seats available cannot be determined until late May. Apportionment is based on the size and geographic breakdown of the department as described in PEF’s Constitution. If there are too few members in an election district, the Committee in consultation with the Executive Board member will combine the district with another district of common interest.

If you are interested in running as a delegate from your department, review the delegate apportionment list and locate your agency's name, Code number and Delegate Constituency Number. Directly across from the name will be the type of apportionment identified for your work site. Nominating petitions, rules and timetables will be available to each PEF member on April 17, 2000 and can be obtained by contacting your local PEF Office.
Note: Each "Delegate Constituency #", in the first column, denotes a separate election district.

For example:
Dele Cons# Agency Code Agency Name Apportionment
118 01050 Office Gen Serv Reg. 1-7
119 119 Reg. 8
120 120 Reg. 9-12

This means there are three (3) separate election districts for this department: one which includes Regions 1-7; one which includes only Region 8; and one which includes Regions 9-12. The exact number of allotted delegates for each of these elections districts cannot be determined until late May.

Resolution Deadline: The deadline for submitting resolutions to be presented to the 2000 PEF Convention is Monday, May 15, 2000. Per convention policy, “No resolution received by PEF will be printed for the consideration of the delegates if it lacks a fiscal-impact statement.” Please send all resolutions, typewritten and in the established format to:
