The deadline for submitting nominations for East region representative to the Sick Leave Bank is 4:30 p.m. on Friday, March 28, which is at least 60 days prior to the convening of the TSEA Representative Assembly.
The Sick Leave Bank is administered by a Board of Trustees as established in T.C.A 8-50-903. The Board comprises the commissioners of human resources and of finance and administration, the state treasurer, the executive director of the fiscal review committee, or their designees, and three (3) members selected by TSEA at the annual Representative Assembly. Each term is three years, with elections held during the Representative Assembly (RA).
The Sick Leave Board of Trustees sets policy and reviews appeals of bank members who are denied days from the bank.
Nominations may NOT be accepted from the Department of Children’s Services (West TN Rep) or TennCare (Middle TN Rep) as these departments already hold positions.
All nominations must be members in good standing of the TSEA for at least one (1) full year immediately preceding the March 28 deadline; must be in writing; must be signed by the nominees; must include the nominee’s department and chapter, and must include the signatures of 25 TSEA members. A photo and information about the candidates will be printed in the Co-Worker prior to the election.
For nominating petitions or questions, please contact LaTanya McAdoo at the TSEA office at 1-800-251-8732 or by e-mail at [email protected].
