Before we get back into our committee discussion, I wanted to remind members to use your professional development funds this year. Contact HR for preapproval and submit your receipts to Learning and Development before it's too late.
So, back to last month's discussion. We talked about the Advocacy Committee, the Board of Directors and the Finance Committee. Let's talk about the remaining committees.
Each month, our Advocates answer your questions about workplace challenges, the AD 10 policies and how they’re applied. Questions? Submit them anonymously here. These questions will be answered in a monthly advocacy corner issue. For an immediate answer, please contact APSA.
Due to an unexpected vacancy, we're running an election for this vacant position. APSA's Board of Directors has one vacant position. Interested in applying?

We are looking for volunteers for our Pension Advisory Committee
What does the Pension Advisory Committee do?
The Pension Advisory Committee (PAC) develops recommendations to change APSA's pension plan text and/or its administration, as required. They also provide pension information to the Executive Committee and develop educational material for members about their plan.
Welcome to another September at SFU. I’m sure by now you’ve got an email from the Salary and Benefits committee asking you to fill out a survey. This lets us know where the gaps are and help form our mandate for bargaining. So go on and fill out the survey, there may even be a draw for coffee at the end.
Medical information is some of the most personal data belonging to an individual. If, however, you are ill or injured and need to request leave or accommodation, you will need to share medical information with SFU. So how much should you share and how can you ensure that your medical information stays private?
We've been discussing what APSA does for its members. We've covered negotiations, advocacy and this month I'd like to talk about APSA's initiatives on education and professional development.
So what exactly are the types of education and professional development APSA offers?
