ETFO: At the Provincial Level

THE ONTARIO TEACHERS’ FEDERATION

ETFO is one of four affiliates that make up the Ontario Teachers’ Federation (OTF). The other three are 
l’Association des enseignantes et des enseignants franco-ontariens (AEFO), the Ontario English Catholic 
Teachers’ Association (OECTA), and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF). ETFO 
has representation on the OTF Board of Governors and the OTF Executive. OTF is the official voice of all 
teachers in Ontario in dealings with the Minister of Education on the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan.

THE ETFO EXECUTIVE

The Executive at the provincial level consists of 14 members: the president; the first vice- president; two 
vice-presidents, one position open to women only; the ETFO representative to the Ontario Teachers’ 
Federation; and, additional executive members as necessary to complete an executive of fourteen. Four 
of these additional positions are open to women only. The members of the Executive are elected to 2-year 
terms by the delegates to the Annual Meeting.

The Executive meets regularly and is responsible for carrying out the business of the federation, receiving 
reports and recommendations from committees, authorizing legal support for members in employment 
related cases, and carrying out a variety of other responsibilities.
