The Board of Governors met on May 19-20, 2017, at SEANC Headquarters in Raleigh to discuss business important to state employees and retirees. Here are the highlights from the meeting. Highlights Alternate Payment Option (Bank draft) contest announced With Senate Bill 375 passing through the Senate, the right of SEANC members to have their dues, insurance premiums, PAC donations and Purchasing Power payments deducted from their paychecks each month is under direct threat. SEANC is asking all members to consider switching over to bank draft, where these payments are pulled from members’ bank accounts each month instead. After gathering suggestions from board members at regional breakouts, SEANC’s Executive Committee decided to launch a contest to incentivize members to make the switch. SEANC will give away five prizes of $1,000 to randomly selected members in each district who have made the switch to bank draft by the SEANC Convention, for a total of $25,000. The 25 winners will be selected at the convention on stage. SEANC will promote the contest further in the days and weeks ahead. If you haven’t already, please visit apo.seanc.org to switch over to bank draft today!
Sgt. Callahan presentation SEANC President Stanley Drewery presented Wendy Callahan, the mother of the late Sgt. Meggan Callahan, with a check from donations to the fund SEANC set up in honor of her daughter. Sgt. Meggan Callahan, 29, was killed in an attack by an inmate at Bertie Correctional Institution on April 26. She was a member of SEANC’s District 63. SEANC collected more than $4,000 from individual member donations and SEANC districts all over the state. All proceeds collected were given to her family. In accepting the check, Callahan’s mother said Meggan “loved her job and she was very good at her job. She was a leader and she trained people well. We are very proud as a family of what Meggan did.”
