ember Appreciation Month
Throughout May, CSEA celebrated Member Appreciation Month, which highlighted
the vital services that CSEA members perform throughout the state, as well as the dedication of our union members to their important work.
“Every single day, CSEA members are the backbone of our communities, keeping our schools running, maintaining our public spaces,
ensuring vital health and safety services, and supporting countless government operations that New Yorkers rely on,” said CSEA President Mary E. Sullivan.
Our union hosted and sponsored special Member Appreciation events in every region. One of the highlights of the month was “A Toast to YOU,” a special virtual event on May 19 that
allowed CSEA members to come together as a union family to celebrate their work, connect with one another and enjoy well-earned recognition and relaxation. We will feature photos from other events in the July-August edition.
Here’s a look at just a few members who were honored on CSEA social media pages as part of our Member Appreciation Month.
