Learn how to lead ‘your’ union
Have you ever thought about taking
that next step in getting involved
in SPEEA? Find answers to your
questions at a special leadership training
Feb. 22 in Everett and Feb. 24 in Tukwila
at the SPEEA halls.
This training is ideally suited for those
interested in running for a Council
Representative position, however all
SPEEA members are welcome to attend.
Council Reps play a critical role in how
SPEEA operates. As elected leaders, they set
policy for the union and provide a two-way
dialogue with the members in their district.
Since each district averages about 200
people, a Council Rep is responsible for
monitoring a variety of issues – from union
governance to disciplinary actions or other
HR issues. As a result, they are the union
‘face’ in the workplace.
“We want to help people understand more
about the role and see the training as an
opportunity to show how members can
grow their leadership skills in many ways,”
said Mary Jo Shannon, director of training
and organizational development.
“This is another benefit of being in a union
- you can stretch your skills in ways that
you may not have the opportunity to in
your daily routine at work,” she said.
The workshop will cover:
• What’s involved in running for election
• What to expect if you are elected
• What are your responsibilities
• What happens in terms of training
• How to develop your district
• How to work with committee volunteers
• How SPEEA staff can help
How to sign up: Contact the SPEEA hall
where you plan to attend the training.

at the Seattle Labor Temple.
You can join fellow artists, art lovers
