BARGAINING ACADEMY APPLICATION

BUILDING STRONG LOCALS (BSL) ACADEMY APPLICATION

*All program details and documents are subject to change.

It’s more important than ever for chapter union leaders to be knowledgeable and prepared for addressing the needs of members. Through the Building Strong Locals (BSL) Academy, CCA is doing just that. Focused on strengthening local chapters, the primary goal of the Academy is to educate members to serve effectively at the local chapter level with confidence and a working knowledge of their rights and responsibilities. Up to 20 faculty members from local CCA chapters are chosen annually to participate in the Academy. These candidates will begin their exclusive training at the CCA Winter Conference, and then participate in training sessions parallel to the Spring and Fall CCA conferences. The academy was initially funded by a grant from NEA but is currently funded solely by CCA.

Please note: Registration for the Building Strong Locals (BSL) Academy and 2023 CCA Winter Conference are separate. Building Strong Locals (BSL) Academy participants must also complete their conference registration using the link above.

BSL Applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. on January 13, 2023. Advance registration is required

The Bargaining Academy is an exciting and unique opportunity designed exclusively for chapter negotiating teams, not individuals, which will run parallel to the regular conference program. The Bargaining Academy will include training on essential bargaining skills, provide up-to-date knowledge on bargaining law and district budgets, all done in a very interactive, team-based session. Bargaining Team members should have a copy of their CBA in either paper or electronic format.

The Bargaining Academy will begin promptly at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, February 11, 2023, and conclude at 10:45 a.m. on Sunday, February 12, 2023. In addition, the trainers will provide an assignment via email to be completed prior to the opening session.  Participants are expected to attend the entire program.

The Bargaining Academy is limited to the first 40 participants who register. A minimum of two participants from a bargaining team is required in order for a chapter to participate.

Please note: Registration for the Bargaining Academy and 2023 CCA Winter Conference are separate. Bargaining Academy participants must also complete their conference registration using the link above.

Advance registration is required. Please complete the Bargaining Academy Registration Form by January 27, 2023.

Winter Conference participants will have an opportunity to meet with CalSTRS retirement specialists on Sunday, February 12, 2023.  The individual sessions will be 15 minutes long and will go over the member’s progress report, provide an estimate, and answer any questions the member may have. Please complete a CalSTRS Estimate Request Form if you would like to meet with a CalSTRS retirement specialist. Completed forms should be emailed by January 24, 2023, to: ccaconference@cta.org.
