Vision for SEIU 721 Member Leadership Development Programs:
“Identify, encourage and train members to step up into the arena of 21st century unionism in or for SEIU, by providing opportunities for continuous skill enhancements in leadership roles through member-to-member outreach, trainings, mentorship and development.”
Our goal is to help develop leaders through
:
• Continuous learning processes
• Leader to leader coaching/mentoring
• Teamwork, collaboration and planning
One aspect of our training program is that member leaders participate in this training as member trainers, not participants. This allows new leaders to be coached and/or mentored by a peer.
The Member Leadership Development training program varies from month to month, and includes the following subjects:
• Family Medical Leave Act
• New Steward Orientation
• Grievance Handling Skills Training
• Policies and Protocols Training (labor/management meetings, meet and confer, etc.)
• Safety and Health
• Meyers, Milias, Brown Act
• Contractual Interpretation
• Bargaining
Advanced steward training covers the following topics:
• Advance Grievance Handling
• Building our Political Power
• Interpersonal Skills
• Organizing 101
• Public Speaking
