LEAD Institute

Sisters and Brothers,

The Leadership Education Action Development Institute is offering a new series of online workshops for UUP leaders, prospective leaders and members interested in getting more involved with the union.

The 60-minute workshops, developed by NYSUT, are set to debut in February. They are free and available 24 hours a day. Members must register at https://www.uuphost.org/leadinstitute to view the courses.

Registration for the first workshop, “Grievance Investigation, Filing and Presentation,” is open from Jan. 19-30. The course, led by NYSUT Labor Relations Specialist Pete Ludden, will be offered starting the week of Feb. 2-7.

The second workshop, “Performance Programs: How to Use Them to Your Advantage,” is set to start the week of Feb. 16-21. Registration is open from Feb. 2-13. NYSUT LRS Darryl Wood will lead the course.

Contract enforcement, member engagement, and professional and union leadership development are some of the themes to be covered in the online courses. The workshops are presented in “learning tracks” for members enrolled or who would like to enroll in the LEAD Institute certificate program.

In solidarity,
