The Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting of ETFO is held in August each year. Your local has a minimum of two voting delegates 
to this meeting as well as additional delegates calculated on the basis of one per every one hundred and 
twenty members of the local. The local may also send alternate delegates and observers to the meeting.

The Annual Meeting ratifies the priorities of the organization, elects the Executive, approves the budget 
and fees, amends the Constitution, votes on resolutions, and fulfills a variety of other responsibilities.

“Any weakening in 

universal public 
education can only 
be a weakening of 
democracy.”

John Ralston Saul
