Fellow Members of ASPEP,
Hello again. I am writing to you as I approach what will be my 8th year as an ASPEP Member. Even though I started as a Services Engineer (the very first one hired into the new bargaining unit at that), I immediately joined after my orientation. I always wanted to support those that support me.
It has been an honor to serve as your Recording Secretary since February 2021, and I am eager to continue in this role. Over the past year, I have been privileged to coordinate the website update, ensuring our online presence remains a valuable resource for our members. I would like to continue to expand upon this effort.
After hearing how my fellow engineers have had difficulties understanding or receiving information regarding the many benefits and information related to ASPEP, I was driven to find an innovative solution. During my 2024 service, I have formed the ASPEP Communications Committee (in which I would love interested engineers to come up if interested in joining as a member) and have released several publications to alleviate this very issue. This committee is a way to communicate and define many ASPEP benefits and elaborate on questions. Moving forward, I even plan to create an ASPEP handbook and complete publications for all EMAP benefits. In addition to this, I have used the Communications Committee as a vehicle to expand our relationship with PerkPlans, expanding the benefits of ASPEP. I look forward to continuing listening to the engineers on future endeavers and expanding our communications. Furthermore, I have continued sharing my bunny (Tuna Baloona) within our communications, as she has become a fan favorite and has been positively received by many members. Miss Tuna not only adds a touch of charm but also symbolizes my commitment to advocacy, whether for animals or engineers.
I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead for ASPEP and its engineers and am committed to contributing to the continued success and growth of ASPEP. Thank you for considering my candidacy for the role of Recording Secretary.
Respectfully,
Nissa Kuranaruk
