Hello Everyone, New York State Teachers Retirement System (NYSTRS) just released their Prep Seminars for The Fall. The seminars are designed for members at all stages of their careers but are especially important for members who are in their last few years. I have also invited our NYSTRS regional rep to present to us on March 12th (3:15 at Brookside), if you would like to mark your calendar early. The Prep Seminars, however, come highly recommended. Please see attached. - Bill 
Hello BMUST!
I’m excited to invite you to join us for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk at Jones Beach on October 20! It’s a great opportunity to support an important cause, get some fresh air, and spend time together! Let’s make a difference in the fight against breast cancer while having fun. Every step helps fund research and provide hope to those affected by the disease. If you're interested, please sign up using the link below and let me know if you have any questions. Feel free to email me at [email protected]. Together, we can make a positive impact as we support those whose lives have been affected by this challenge. Thank you! Bruce Reed Public Relations Attachment: poster and url for American Cancer Society http://main.acsevents.org/goto/bmust The Community Cupboard is in need of adult volunteers on their packing days from 3:30 - 4:30 pm.
Please use the attached 2024-25 Staff Volunteers sign up sheet, if you are interested. Thank you! Colleagues,
I hope this note finds you all well. Here is the official notification from NYSUT’s Nassau Regional Office (NRO) of the fall workshops with a link to register. I encourage you to register for anything that looks interesting to you. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. In Solidarity, Rob Dear Local Leader, I’m pleased to announce that registration is now open for the Nassau Regional Office’s fall workshop series. As stated in my “Welcome Back” email sent last week, the following workshops are being offered to you and your members:
To the right of each workshop listed, you will notice how many seats are remaining. Once a workshop reaches the set capacity, you’ll have the option to be added to the waitlist. If it is a workshop you wanted to attend, please join the waitlist! The size of the waitlist will help us determine if we can add seats or look to add an additional date for a particular workshop to accommodate demand. In addition to the offerings above, we will hold a Presidents’ Roundtable on November 18th and the Board Elections workshop on January 11th (presented jointly with the Suffolk Regional Office). We are also working on planning and securing dates for our SRP Dinner and Leadership Conference, as well as looking to bring back an Early Career Member Conference and Mental Health Conference. I will share that information once plans are finalized. Please urge your new and up-and-coming union leaders to register for the workshops that relate to the work they do. If you have questions regarding the registration process, deadlines, or problems, please contact Barbara Fox at the Nassau Regional Office ([email protected] or 516-496-2035). If you have questions about the content of the workshops, please contact me. Again, registration for all workshops will close on Thursday, October 3rd. Thank you! In solidarity, Kevin Kevin Pollitt, Regional Staff Director New York State United Teachers 1000 Woodbury Road -Suite 214 Woodbury, NY 11797 Office: (516) 496-2035 [email protected]  We know that certification in New York State can be complicated and stressful. That's why NYSUT has an office that's entirely devoted to helping our members navigate the certification process. While the State Education Department manages all certifications, our certification experts are here to give you honest answers and help you through the process.
NYSUT is pleased to offer a new range of free webinars to help our members with their certification questions. These webinars are designed to help NYSUT members with specific challenges they encounter understanding and managing their certifications. Space in each webinar is limited. Please sign up only if you plan to attend. Webinars are free for NYSUT members. Register Here 2024-2025 BMUST Committees Survey
On Tuesday, May 21, Long Islanders will go to the polls to vote for school budgets and board of education candidates. Please make time that day to vote YES for your school budget. In addition, NYSUT's Long Island regional offices have released their school board endorsements of candidates who support public schools and unions. Please take a look at the link below. I've also included a link to Newsday's 2024 School Voters Guide.
