Executive Committee Meeting 14 - 15 January 2025

TSSA Executive Committee Meeting - Minutes for Branches & Website

Hybrid meeting – Head Office & Zoom

Introduction from Melissa Heywood, TSSA President

The January EC meeting had another big financial feature: the budget for the next financial year and preparing for the union’s formal audit.

EC members saw an amended budget, based on feedback given to staff at the last EC meeting.

The EC were given an update on the finances of the union, how expenditure tallied with strategic priorities and how it enabled the union to serve current and future members.

We also received updates on all areas of the union's work, including the work of the Political Officer, the union’s current membership system and live campaigns.

Below you'll find a summary of the minutes capturing the highlights and actionable items from our conversations.

Warm regards,

President

TSSA
