RepresentEd – Councillor Conference 2024

The Federation is excited to announce a unique opportunity for members from underrepresented groups to participate in our upcoming events. This initiative aims to promote awareness of our governance structures and programs, foster succession planning within the profession, and increase representation of underrepresented groups within our membership. By doing so, we hope to contribute to teacher diversity and enhance member engagement.

The Federation recognizes the importance of diverse representation and voice within the membership and is seeking applicants that belong to underrepresented groups which includes, but is not limited to, teachers who identify as: Indigenous, racialized, having disabilities, 2SlGBTQIA+, and/or are in their first five years of teaching.

Current Opportunity: Councillor Conference 2024

Have you ever asked yourself – Who elects our STF President? What is council? How does the STF get feedback or make decisions related to policy and governance? Councillor Conference is an event that can help you learn more about Federation governance and meet STF councillors from across the province that make decisions that directly impact you!

Held each fall, Councillor Conference is when drafts of bylaws and policies and other governance issues are brought forward to councillors for discussion and feedback. This is an opportunity to learn about the legislation, bylaws and policies of the Federation as well as current issues in education and the profession.

Council consists of members of the STF Executive and those councillors elected by local associations. Important fiduciary and governance-related decisions are made by Council that guide the work the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation does on behalf of the membership.
