SPEEA Elects Two New Northwest Regional VPs, Reelects Incumbent

Members of SPEEA/IFPTE Local 2001 have elected two new Northwest regional vice presidents to their union’s executive board while re-electing an incumbent.

Jeffrey L. Forbes, Tami Reichersamer, and Lynette Shiroma were the top three vote-getters in the election, out of a field of eight candidates. They will begin their two-year terms on March 26, along with Midwest Regional Vice President Chris Streckfus, an incumbent who was unopposed for re-election.

Forbes ran as an incumbent and was re-elected. Reichersamer and Shiroma, who are both current SPEEA Council Representatives, were elected to the Executive Board for the first time.

SPEEA has a seven-person Executive Board that is the union’s elected leadership body. It is comprised of three officers – a president, treasurer, and secretary – and four regional vice presidents, three representing SPEEA members in the Northwest region and one for SPEEA-represented workers the Midwest.

All Executive Board members are elected for two-year terms. Officers are elected in even numbered years; vice presidents in odd-numbered years.
