In other news, members briefly discussed the ins and outs of summer health insurance, recapped the AFT-OR Annual Convention, heard from the Budget Committee about the status of the union’s finances, got invited to a conference for graduate employees (AGEL), and recapped CGE’s progress in passing legislation that would reduce fees.

Thanks to everyone who came out, consumed almost all of the food and drink, and made this the biggest spring GMM in recent memory!  We’ll post a few pictures as we get them.
