At its fall meeting, GSU’s Joint Executive Council (JEC) created a special committee made up of JEC members and staff. The Financial Review Committee is focused on the important challenge of strengthening the union for the long term and supporting future growth.

The committee met in Regina on December 11 to begin this work and they plan to meet again in January. Rather than focusing only on managing existing revenue, the committee is looking ahead to identify new ways to grow financial resources over the next three to six years. At the same time, they are identifying priorities that will have a positive and meaningful impact for members.

“This intentional two‑track approach—first examining how GSU generates and manages its finances, and then developing a clear, consensus‑based plan for how those resources are spent—shows a strong commitment to acting in the best interests of both members and the union,” said GSU general secretary Steve Torgerson. “The goal is to ensure lasting value for every member.”

The committee will present its report to the JEC at their next meeting this spring.
