As part of our ongoing efforts to keep members informed and abreast of current issues the latest installment of the eceLINK publication features important information on unionization. The AECEO feels strongly that we have a responsibility to make this information available to the sector as a whole. That is why the latest issue of our publication will be posted on the main page of our website for sharing purposes.

It is our hope this information will incite discussion and thought among professionals in the sector especially those preparing or contemplating careers in school boards.

We are asking our members therefore to share this issue of the eceLINK with friends and colleagues by forwarding this e-bulletin along.
