This year’s conference multi-focused approach on advocacy, professionalism, leadership and vision looks to be one of the best training events of 2014. The focus on building a stronger, member-centered union reflective of our common core values is necessary to Commanding the Road for Great Public Schools, and it is based on themes revealed during relational conversations conducted throughout the region last year. Together we will continue the important work of proactively taking command in our continued fight to promote and protect public education.
