"Working for Better Government through Better People"
The Government Administrators Association is a labor association that represents
Executive, Managerial, Professional and Supervisory employees at Wayne County, 3rd
Airport Authority. The Association represents the membership in all phases of the
collective bargaining process, and works to enhance the recognition of the career public
servant.
We recognize our responsibility of providing truly effective representation by working
cooperatively with these employers so that the public will realize better, cost efficient
service.
As an organization oriented toward enlightened management, we foster and support
professionalism in job performance and discourage adversarial relations with our
employers. Additionally, we encourage applying that extra effort which exemplifies
outstanding employees.
To assist members, the GAA has bargained for and received cost-paid rights to attend
training sessions designed to enhance professional and management development.
Simply, the GAA philosophy is best explained by our motto of "Working for Better
Government Through Better People."

| Condolences to the Family of Former GAA Association Executive David Kasunic It is with a great deal of sadness that we have just learned this date of the passing of David Kasunic, who served as the Association Executive for the Government Administrators Association during the years 1082 through 1992. David passed away quietly in his sleep December 22, 2011. Services were held Tuesday, December 27, 2011 prior to our knowledge. We extend our sincere sympathy to his wife Rosemary and his extended family. David will be especially remembered by the Association for his dedication to the Association and its members for the professionalism and innovative concepts he contributed to negotiations and administration of all our affairs during his tenure in office. He will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him. May God rest his soul! Lawrence N. Verbiest Association Executive |
Association Elections At the November 15, 2011 Special Election Charles "Chuck Bonza" was elected Association President to fill the remainder of the term expiring December 31, 2012. The vacancy was caused by the promotion of Past President Jimmie L. Bettis to Director of the Civil Division at the 36th District Court, an exempt position making him ineligible to continue serving as Association President. Bettis is to be congratulated for his exemplary long service of 15 years as Association President. Bonza, too, is to be honored as the new President. He brings to this office several years of service to the Association as a member of the Association Executive Board, Vice-President, and Interim President following Bettis' exit. Results for the election are as follows: Charles Bonza--52 Votes Margaret Keyes-Howard-- 31 Votes Dwayne Anderson--25 Votes Cassandra McDonald-- 14 Votes Janis Saunders--14 Votes Rita Whitley 12--Votes |
