Business not on Agenda from membership
President Mackay asked for an update about the beginning of the first Local Caucus. Carlos talked about how they are getting close on completing their by-laws, and once they have them approved, they will send them to us (ATU International PRIDE Caucus Board) for approval. Their is concern about some people joining, even though they are happy that the group exists. The name of their Local Caucus is ATU 758 Transit Togetherness PRIDE Caucus (TTPC for short).
