Two SEANC members have joined the SEIU board.
Executive Director Dana Cope and President Linda Rouse Sutton of the State Employees Association of North Carolina were elected to the Service Employees International Union's executive board during the latter group's 2008 convention.
SEANC, which represents more than 55,000 state workers, joined together with SEIU in May as part of a multi-year effort to strengthen labor laws in North Carolina.
"North Carolina state employees finally have a voice at the national level to protect and improve the valuable services they provide," Cope said in a statement.
The board members has 23 vice presidents and 37 board members who will lead the union for its 2008 to 2012 term.
