Apply to be on a Committee for the 2025-2027 Term!
SEIU-West Committees keep us at the forefront of the Labour movement in Canada, and provide an excellent opportunity for members to learn from each other. Committee members serve for two years, and we have now approached the end of a two-year term so we are requesting SEIU-West members and all current committee members to submit their Expressions of Interest form should they wish to serve or remain on committees.
Each committee is comprised of members just like you, a Top Officer, and is supported by a SEIU-West staff member.
