Unit Chairs are part of the Local Representative Assembly. Units with more than 50 members can elect an additional Representative Assembly member, including the San Francisco Chronicle and the Freelance Unit.
Each unit will be holding a nomination meeting prior to November 20th.
Members in good standing can submit nominations in 3 ways:

Nominations will officially close at the PMWG General Membership Meeting on November 20th.
If an office is uncontested (only 1 candidate nominated) that candidate will be deemed “elected” on Nov. 20. There will be a four day period following the meeting, where members can submit additional nominations by petition to vote@mediaworkers.org. If more than one person is nominated for a position, the Local will mail paper ballots to members.
