Hello APSA Members,
As you all know, we usually publish a list of new members. However, due to the move to the new mail list service, APSA has encountered some issues.
APSA usually receives a Personnel Requisition Form from SFU HR, which gives us a general update on our members' records. For new members, we typically receive a "New to SFU," "New to HR," or "Academic Group." This does not show any CUPE to APSA members. I would figure this out in the previous software after uploading records marked "Promotion" or "Transfer." The list would show which emails were not on the list already. I can't do that with this new system.
We do have our database, but it hasn't been reliable. So I'd like to request two things until we find a more reliable system:
1. Please let us know if an APSA colleague or report has not received our emails and would like to receive them. My email is lgosyne@apsacentral.ca.
2. If you are a CUPE to APSA member who has recently joined APSA, please reach out to us so I can send you a welcome letter and our APSA orientation form. This includes all temporary CUPE to APSA members as well.
Please be assured that we're working on resolving this. After that, we'll publish our Welcome New Members section again.
