Hello ESSO Members,

 I want to thank everyone that showed up to last night’s meeting, It was a success. We all voted on Electronic voting. Eric and I will work on getting it setup with IEA, We will be using Election buddy. Also I apologies for the long wait on the contract dealing with HR is never fun, But the good news is you now can go to the “Resources” drop down tap and view it. Thank you Michael Neville for putting this on the website. Hard copies are at the print shop and I will be sending them out to everyone when they come in. If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me 224-629-0693–

Hello ESSO Members,

As you are aware Tim Sheahan has resigned his position as ESSO President because of his upcoming retirement. Per our by-laws I have moved into the President position. I also want you all to know that Jason Welch has moved into the Vice President position as well as Nick Lucarelli moving into the Chief Steward position and lastly John Weber moving into the Steward position. Cory Deskins has taken on the role as Membership Chairperson. I am honored to take on this new position and look forward to moving this membership into a leading role at U-46. In the coming weeks I will have some more information to share with you as I begin to implement new and exciting ideas to better inform our membership. Thank you for your support and I look forward to speaking with you all soon. Have a safe day.

Fraternally,

Rob Schweig
