ACFO-ACAF is seeking to fill the role of ACFO-ACAF Champion in multiple departments and regions. Champions are members that help make a difference by building bridges between their union, their colleagues, and their department.

With a small staff and more than 6,000 members, it’s hard for us at ACFO-ACAF to know exactly what’s going on in every department and every workplace, which is why the role of Champion is so critical. With a time commitment of your choice, you have the opportunity to:

• Share important information with your colleagues and ACFO-ACAF Labour Relations staff
• Participate in quarterly calls so that you’re first to know what’s going on at ACFO-ACAF
• Network with other volunteers in different departments and regions across the country
• Make connections with senior management and become well-known in your department

Note: While all Champions receive training for the role, unlike shop stewards, they do not handle any Labour Relations issues and act as a communications liaison only. If you have any questions about your collective agreement or your workplace rights, please contact labourrelations@acfo-acaf.com.

Departments and regions where we are seeking representatives

There are multiple regions and departments where we do not currently have representation or only one representative for a large department, which makes two-way communication of critical information of what’s going on between members and ACFO-ACAF much more difficult.

If you’re interested in taking on the role in one of the departments and regions below or in learning more about the program, please contact lbosquet@acfo-acaf.com with your department and region.
