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,

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
