Thinking about volunteering as a Member Advocate?
Have you been told you’re a great listener, or a supportive and helpful colleague? Are you interested in advancing allied health’s objectives and advocating on behalf of your peers working in Manitoba’s public health-care system? Consider stepping forward as a Member Advocate.
A MAHCP Member Advocate is a union activist who represents our union within the workplace and follows the Mission, Vision, and Values Statements. MAHCP is a direct-service model union which means members can connect directly with their Labour Relations Officer for employment-related concerns, but our team relies on Member Advocates to represent MAHCP on site.
The Advocate’s purpose is to connect with and support their fellow members, while advocating for, advancing, and protecting the rights of our diverse allied health-care membership. The Call for Nominations occurs annually in April, with a deadline for nominations of the final Friday in May.
In accordance with the MAHCP Constitution:
- Member Advocates shall be elected for a two-year term commencing at the close of the Annual General Meeting at which they are elected.
- Member Advocates may be appointed by the Executive Council at the request of members who present a completed Nomination Form. The temporary appointment is terminated at the next AGM.
