Regional Vice-Presidents and Regional Executive Board Members

OPSEU divides Ontario into regions for two reasons: to create a democratic framework for the union, and to bring resources closer to the locals. Every two years, each local sends delegates to a regional meeting, which elects three regional members to the board. One of the three is elected Regional Vice-President.

Equity Vice-President and Equity Executive Board Members

Equity Board Seats will allow OPSEU/SEFPO to meet the member-led demands for representation on the Executive Board that reflects the diversity of our membership. OPSEU/SEFPO is dedicated to anti-racism and anti-oppression.

Ensuring that our Executive Board is reflective of our membership is a critical step on the path to becoming a more equitable and inclusive union that works for everyone.
