The Provincial Executive Council (PEC) is a 20-person committee that creates and sets ATA policies and practices. It also creates standing and ad hoc committees to advise and assist it on various education-related matters. PEC includes the elected representatives of Alberta teachers plus the Association's executive secretary.
Of the 20 members, 15 are district representatives from 11 geographic districts. The other five are the president, two vice-presidents, the past president and the executive secretary. Collectively, these five are referred to as the table officers.
Members of each geographic district elect their district representative(s) for two-year terms. All ATA members in Alberta elect the president and vice-presidents for two-year terms.
PEC meets at least eight times each year.
About PEC elections
PEC representatives serve two-year terms, and the ATA conducts elections for PEC positions every two years. The term of office starts on July 1 of the election year.
How to run in a PEC election
If you are an active or associate member of the ATA, you are eligible to run in a PEC election. Be sure to review the roles and responsibilities of PEC members and familiarize yourself with the time commitment.
The ATA provides financial assistance to all candidates via a basic grant and travel expense coverage.
More information about financial assistance and other requirements and procedures is available in the PEC Election Candidates’ Handbook, which will be available Fall 2024.
