Our SEIU-UHW bylaws set out an election process to fill vacant Executive Board seats on a quarterly basis so that our union can maintain a full leadership body.
Leadership Matters: The primary role of our Executive Board is to inspire and motivate members into action-leaders who are passionate about devoting time and talent to building a leadership team within their facility or county. By communicating and challenging us, our Executive Board sets out the vision and program of our union and encourages us to exercise our leadership potential. It is up to us to nominate and elect those candidates whom we believe can best lead our union to achieve better jobs and better health for our community.
All nomination and election information is posted on this website, available at all SEIU-UHW offices, available from SEIU-UHW representatives and posted at facility and area locations.
