November 25, 2024 — The union is seeking new members to join the PEF Caribbean-American Committee to advocate for issues important to public employees in that community, to share their experiences, and to enjoy good food and music together!
The committee was created to support members with Caribbean heritage, to educate all PEF members about the Caribbean and to share stories and struggles. There are 26 countries in the Caribbean and its people speak several different languages, hold diverse beliefs, and observe unique traditions.
“It is my hope that the committee will showcase what ties PEF members to this beautiful part of the world,” said Executive Board member Keith Browne, an assistant environmental at the Department of Environmental Conservation, who put out the call for members after speaking with PEF President Wayne Spence.
The PEF Caribbean-American Committee is open to any member. If you’re interested in joining, there will be an introductory meeting via Zoom at 6:30 p.m. on December 10. Please register here and the Zoom link will be sent to you.
