Registration is open for online orientation webinar for new AFGE local officers.
This one-day webinar is designed for new local union leaders who need a basic overview of their duties and responsibilities as local union officers. It will be presented by Education Specialist Shara Smith and Education Deputy Director Julie Mendez-de Leon.

The June classes will be offered as pilot classes and are therefore free of charge. Seats will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Dates June 25th and June 26th (Register for either the 25th or the 26th)
