Does Your Chapter Need Training?

Your SEA-NH Education & Training Coordinator Offers Many Opportunities


Hello,

Welcome to the State Employees' Association of New Hampshire, SEIU Local 1984 Education & Training home page. Here you will find information about training opportunities available to Chapters and Members. We encourage all Chapter Leaders to review the workshop listing for areas they believe might assist their members and Chapter.

Chapter Presidents or their designee are asked to contact Terri Wright at 271-3411 X108 or twright@seiu1984.org to schedule training sessions. Prior to contacting Terri, please have answers to the following:

1.  Your chosen training / workshop

2.  A few dates and times when you reasonably believe you can get the most participants to attend

3.  The location for the training - Will this be in the worksite, off site, or at our SEA headquarters?

4.  How long would you like the presentation to be?

5.  Are you providing food? If so, time must be allotted

6.  Specifics you would like covered during the training

7.  Stewards (in some Chapters) receive release time for training - Please let me know who will be attending so I can type the Release Letter and send it.

Chapter Leadership Guide

Chapters are much more than a monthly meeting, or a place to vote on something. Chapters are the infrastructure of our union – the stronger our chapters are, the stronger we all are as a union. The strength of our union is not based on a few elected leaders or a group of staff people. The strength of our union is directly based on the involvement of the members, and that involvement is born in the chapters.
