The next meeting of PEA stewards, special committee members and the executive committee will be held on January 12, 2022 at Joseph’s Grill.
Almost 20 years ago PEA started a member recognition award – the John F. Blackstone PEA Member of the Year award.
This year the member of the year award goes to Mary Henke-Haney. There were so many things going on during the pandemic, Mary met with members effectively and put in a lot of work. She articulates the sense of urgency and needs to the executive board. We are happy and proud to award Mary with the 2021 PEA Member of the Year award.

Message from the Executive Board
Out of an abundance of caution, the Executive Board has elected to move the October general membership meeting from in-person to virtual (via Zoom).
I’m sure many are sick of virtual meetings, but we wanted to be as inclusive as possible so that folks can attend safely.
A few virtual meeting ettiquette tips:
- Please be sure to list your first and last name, as we will be using this to
take attendance and send out eBallot information for elections voting after
the meeting. - Including your pronouns (she/her/hers, he/him/his, they/them/theirs)
after your name is encouraged. - While there is no pressure to be on-camera for the meeting, it would be
great to see your face if you’re speaking. - Reminder: only members can bring up business and vote in elections.
If you are not currently a member and would like to be, please contact Personnel Chair Julie Kraus at julie.kraus@ci.stpaul.mn.us
We look forward to “seeing” you virtually on Tuesday October 12th at 5:30 p.m.
Please see the Special Edition Elections Newsletter that was emailed to you for full invitation and meeting link.
