Event Description

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

Join us for the CTA Presidents ConferenceJuly 31 – August 3, 2025 in Burlingame. 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 2025 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!

To help encourage attendance at this important training, CTA will reimburse one person per local for their travel costs to attend the conference. Travel expense reimbursement guidelines and form found HERE.
