AUDIENCE: CTA Local Chapter Presidents, Vice-Presidents or designee.

Join us for the CTA Presidents Conference, July 18-21, 2024 in Orange County. Newly developed interactive sessions designed for new and experienced chapter leaders will provide training to enhance your skills as a local leader and help build systems of success for your chapter.

On the horizon are constant challenges to the labor movement that will impact the work we do as an organization. The Presidents Conference will provide new and returning presidents a foundation to rely upon as we prepare for the future. This conference includes dozens of skill building sessions and provides opportunities to build lasting relationships with other CTA leaders.

The 2024 Presidents Conference is available to CTA Presidents, Vice-Presidents or the local designee. Childcare is available for pre-registered attendees. Do not miss this extraordinary opportunity!
