Below are brief descriptions of the roles of Union Reps and Executive Board Members. If you want to talk about what it would be like to be a SHARE Rep or to be on the Executive Board, or if you have other questions, please call the SHARE office at 508-929-4020, or talk to someone you know who is involved with SHARE.

SHARE Representatives: A Rep is a contact person for their area. SHARE Reps get training from SHARE to relay information between co-workers and union leadership. The scope of the role can be as big or small as you want.

SHARE Executive Board Members: Executive Board members have responsibility for the whole union. They make decisions about the direction of our union and participate in contract negotiations. There are 4 officer positions (president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer) and 4 at-large positions.

Reps are elected for 1 year. Executive Board Members are elected for 2 year-terms, half in even numbered years and half in odd numbered years. If there are open seats with partial terms left to serve, they will also be up for election. Elections are usually held in the fall.
