Interested in attending the Association Representative Training?
Monday, September 29 4:15-6:15 PM (right here!) Let Cindy know ASAP, and if you have special dietary considerations
Let’s push it to over 60% at every site!
Have you had a chance to reach out to the new hires in your building? Remember, we need you to approach EACH new hire, and ask them to complete their membership form.
If they do not complete the membership form, they will not be receiving all the benefits of membership.
Have you and your fellow reps at your site let your Principal know you would like to set up a short monthly meeting to check-in and touch base on building happenings?
Great idea!
Want help with this? Ask your Executive Board Liaison for more pointers or to join you at your 1 st meeting!
