Master Executive Council

What is The Master Executive Council?
All Local Executive Councils within an airline form the Master Executive Council (MEC).  The MEC is responsible for coordinating the activities of AFA across an entire airline. Each LEC President sits on the MEC as the voting member for the members of the Local Council that they represent.

The LEC Presidents elect three officers to lead the MEC: a President, Vice President, and Secretary-Treasurer.  These MEC Officers serve a three year term when elected.  They do not carry a vote on the MEC with the exception of the MEC President, who votes only to break a tie.

How the MEC Operates

Meetings

The MEC generally holds regular MEC meetings once per month to conduct the business of AFA at Endeavor Air.  Meetings are usually held via ZOOM call.  If you have any questions, concerns, or items of business you would like brought before the MEC, please contact your LEC President.

Policy and Procedure

Ultimately, AFA is governed by the AFA Constitution and Bylaws as adopted by the AFA Board of Directors.  The MEC has adopted a policy and procedure manual to address matters of business that the AFA Constitution and Bylaws does not.  The policy and procedure manual can be amended by majority vote of the voting members of the MEC as needed.

Took Office: February 13, 2025
Term Expires: December 31, 2025

Positions Held:
MEC Secretary Treasurer (Former)
MEC Reserve Chair (Former)
LEC 46 Vice President
Local 46 Info Rep 
Local 46 Grievance Chair

Daphne has been an Endeavor Air Flight Attendant for just over ten years. Over the past 8 years she has been actively involved with the AFA. While attending union meetings, it became clear that Daphne wanted to know more than just what the AFA could do for her.  She wanted to know what the AFA is doing for the entire Flight Attendant community.  Daphne's work with the AFA started as a Local 46 Info Rep, then selected as MEC Reserve Chair, progressing to LEC Grievance Chair, and elected LEC VP Local 46.

Yes, being a Union Officer can be stressful and time consuming, however serving our members can be rewarding. Those thank yous from the members I serve keeps me motivated and gives me strength to keep fighting for our members, both internally and externally.  

During my short tenure as an elected officer and appointed chair, I have had the pleasure of gaining knowledge from training and working with past and present officers and chairs. What is most important is learning from our members, your voice deserves our listening ear. 

Each of us has talents, passions, and wisdom to offer our members and we must work together to be successful. It is important as leaders that we communicate, lead by example and always try to work together to get things accomplished. I truly believe "Stronger Together. Better Together".  

In my leisure time I love spending time with my family and friends, especially my grandchildren. Spring and Summer are my favorite seasons because I can spend time outside gardening, riding my bike and walking.  My sister and I take full advantage of the opportunity to travel to countries and states that we have always wanted to see.
