PAC Training Workshop

Try to make it to the Political Action Conference and Training Workshop in Bay City on November 19th!

5:30 – 8:00 p.m.

Local 362 UAW Hall
4427 Wilder Road ~ Bay City
[Located .3 miles east of Bay City Mall on north side of road.]

As most of you are aware, education has reached a crisis stage in Michigan. School funding is unstable which is affecting all school districts.  The ball is in our hands wherein all school employees need to become involved by talking with Legislators in Lansing and Washington, D.C. to help resolve this dilemma.
The MEA Region 11 & 12 Workshop will give you the knowledge and tools to facilitate the task at-hand.  Therefore, we would like participation from every MEA Local in these Regions.  There is no cost to attend; a catered meal will be provided for all participants.
  • Who are our Legislators and how do we elect “Friends of Education?
  • Once elected, how do we lobby to ensure they remain our “friends”?
  • How do we make our educational agenda known to Lawmakers?
  • How do we conduct PAC drives and why is this important to education?

Plan to join us for an insightful and educational evening that will give you the tools and confidence you need to keep our Legislators “on track”!!!
Registration deadline is Friday, November 13 by 5:00 p.m. Call the
12-D MEA Office to register for this conference:  1-800-914-6444
