Local Officers’ Training (In-Person, Calgary)

Please note: This course is open to Stewards and Local Officers.

This is an ideal course for anyone elected to the local executive.   You will review the role of the local executive and what you need to do to organize the local.  You will learn how to access the wider resources of the PSAC to solve problems on behalf of your local.  You will look at the various ways to communicate with the membership, including organizing and conducting more effective meetings.  You will examine ways to interest and involve more members in the work of the union.  You will develop some administrative skills, including how to read a computer printout and draft a budget.  Some of these are transferable skills and strategies which can be useful as you participate in volunteer organizations within your community.
