CONVENTION DELEGATE INFORMATION

The 2001 PEF Convention will be held from Sunday, October 14, 2001 through Wednesday, October 17, 2001 in Niagara Falls, NY at the Niagara Falls 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 March proceeding the Convention.

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 16, 2001 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 Const# • Agency Code • Agency Name • Type of Apportionment
116 01050 Off. Gen Serv Reg. 1-7
117 Reg. 8
118 Reg. 9-12
