Our union is strongest when our members come together, ready to fight for what’s right. Every day, CSEA stewards make this happen at worksites throughout the state.

This workshop is for all CSEA Members who want to build a stronger union.

Conducting Successful Meetings
Much of the business of the union is done during meetings–general membership meetings, executive board meetings, committee meetings, steward meetings and many other types of meetings. In order for these meetings to be productive and useful, the leaders and participants of the meetings must be aware of some basic information. In this workshop, we will identify the characteristics of successful meetings, examine the different types of meetings held within the union context, learn the basics of parliamentary procedure, and practice meeting preparation and participation techniques.
Thursday, February 29, from 6 pm to 8 pm
**This is a 2-part workshop, must participate in both parts to receive credit
