NYSUT Early Career Member Conference
(Open to members in the first 5 years of their employment)
Saturday, December 1 @ Huntington Hilton Hotel in Melville.
Our new members are the future of NYSUT. Almost 150,000 of our current members are 50 or more years old and will be retiring in the near future. We have to be sure that the new members that replace them understand the value of union membership as well as their predecessors do.
For this reason, NYSUT created a special conference just for Early Career Members -- a category we define as members in the first 5 years of their employment. Last February, our first ECM conference was a huge hit with the participants and we're expect an even bigger turnout this time around. In addition to demonstrating the value of union membership, it's also a great opportunity to interest newer members in becoming actively involved in their union.
To encourage participation, there is no charge to attend this conference. Please see this link for details.Members interested in attending are asked to contact Sheila Lavin, our HTA administrative assistant, via email at: office@herricksta.org or call our direct number 248-7948.
