Communications
Committee

The West Wing was a publication of the MEC and featured
interviews and articles regarding
the merger and committee
activities.

The Council 66 Communications Committee is looking for
flight attendants interested in working on various
communication projects including The West Wing news
magazine, the West Wing Video Podcast, airport bulletin
boards, emails, and recorded messaging.
The Communications Committee is a fun, innovative and
progressive committee dedicated to providing a variety of
sources in which to keep flight attendants updated on
Council 66 MEC and LEC information and events. Working with
this committee will keep you in-the-know on union
information while you help your flying friends stay updated
as well.
If you enjoy writing, photography, film production, or
creative design than the Communications Committee is for
you! Commit to as little as one day per month or volunteer
for more in-depth involvement - the choice is yours – and
the Committee will work around your schedule.
