The Committee met in Ottawa from August 27-29 with the following members in attendance:  Barry Melanson, Sabri Khayat, Bob Campbell and Susan Duncan.

The Committee prepared the September newsletter for publication and had a general discussion on other UTE communication items.  The following topics were addressed:

• The Committee reviewed the Tips for the Chairperson booklet.  We were very happy with the final result.  During the upcoming September Presidents’ Conference, each Local will receive 2 copies of the booklet.

• The Committee would like to remind each Standing Committee that we would like a picture of their committee that we can post on the web.

• We will be adding a ‘subscribe’ function to the bargaining page in order to make it easier for members to subscribe to the bargaining information list.
