Stephen Helleiner
District 14, Kawartha Pine Ridge
My Commitment
My name is Stephen Helleiner and I am running for re-election as OTF Governor. As a long-serving member of a variety of committees in my district and at the provincial level I have demonstrated an on-going dedication to OSSTF/FEESO and all that it represents. I have worked over the years to ensure members stay well-informed, engaged, and excited about the work of the Federation.
My Promise
- To listen to the concerns of the members of OSSTF/FEESO
- To bring forward those concerns to the OTF Board
- To act as a conduit between the PE, Provincial Council, and the OTF
- To work to protect the rights of all members
- To communicate with other affiliates and explain OSSTF/FEESO positions
- To communicate clearly and openly with our members about OTF issues
- To uphold the responsibilities of my membership in the Federation
Why am I Running?
The most important thing a member can do is to put themselves out there to serve the membership as a whole. I have always believed that we are a strong union because we value the individual member so deeply. To take a challenge on, like representing the members as an OTF Governor, means to be willing to think globally and to understand the whole picture. I believe I have the skills to represent the totality of who we are as a Federation and to do it with care and passion.
