Hello! My name is Laurie Brassard, I am a Medical Laboratory Technologist at the University of Alberta Hospital with over 30 years of experience in healthcare. 

For the past six years, I've earned the privilege of serving as your board member. During this time, I've worked hard to earn your trust and respect, and I'm incredibly grateful to represent our 30,000 strong members. My training and experience in governance has helped me to ensure our board remains focused, effective, and accountable. 

During our last AGMM season I had the pleasure and opportunity to meet many of you and witness your engagement and enthusiasm in promoting our union values. Seeing the results of increased funding and support at the local level-where it truly makes a difference-has been incredibly rewarding! 

We are facing uncertain times in healthcare, with significant changes in AHS and ongoing threats of privatization. A majority of our members are in bargaining this year, and we want to ensure you that we will be guided every step of the way by your voices and your mandates. I'm proud to serve as chair of the Alberta Precision Laboratory bargaining committee. 

Over the years I've worn many hats within our union - chair, steward, EMAC & JWHSC representative, and have sat on numerous committees including WHS&W, Social Justice and most recently with the Young Workers. These roles have offered personal growth, challenge, and above all, the chance to make our union stronger for everyone. Your support is greatly valued. 

My main priorities include:

  • Supporting access to workshops, committees and events that you value
  • Being accountable and fiscally responsible for your membership dues
  • Ensuring your Voice, your Concerns and your Interests always come First

HSAA continues to evolve and so does our commitment to better communication and transparency with members. I am committed to serving during these challenging times to ensure HSAA is meaningful to YOU. 

Your vote for Laurie Brassard is a vote for a member who is passionate about our union affairs and believes that 

You are HSAA!
