DAWN-TUCP announces new set of officers for 2001-2004

The General Assembly and election of officers of the DAWN-TUCP was held last March 7, 2001. The three-year term of office was one of the important amendments on the Rules of Administration.

The women's committees of the Philippine Government Employees Association (PGEA) and the Samahan ng Manggagawang Pilipino - National Alliance of Teachers and Office Workers (SMP-NATOW) are the new affiliates of DAWN-TUCP, while the KAKASAHA-ISP is an associate and collaborator organization.

The new sets of officers are the members of the National Executive Committee and the Functional Committees. Three Area Chairpersons were also elected to represent the country's three major island groupings - Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
