Have you had a chance to reach out to
the new hires in your building?
Remember, we need you to approach
EACH new hire, and ask them to
complete their membership form.
If they do not complete the membership form, they will not be
receiving all the benefits of membership.
Have you and your fellow reps at your site let your Principal
know you would like to set up a short monthly meeting to
check-in and touch base on building happenings?
Great idea!
Want help with this? Ask your Executive Board
Liaison for more pointers or to join you at your
next meeting!
Need child care in order to
regularly attend these Association
Representative Meetings?
You chose to provide free
child care, with responsible
sitters at Dizzy Castle!
You would need to sign the
appropriate Dizzy Castle &
EEA waivers.
Contact EEA for more details
Your participation and your children are important to your EEA union
family!
