NYSUT summer conference focus on union power, Fix Tier 6

Over the past several weeks, NYSUT members and leaders attended regional conferences across the state where they learned how to enhance their organizing and educational skills. Through workshops, members share experiences, strategies and solutions; develop action plans; and become stronger leaders to empower the future of our union. Discussions centered on NYSUT’s campaign to Fix Tier 6 and members shared their personal reasons for joining the fight.

Next week @JCiffone and I are hitting the road to hit 3 @NYSUT conferences in 3 days (@NYSUTWNY, @nysutrochro and @NYSUTTRO) 17 hours in the car! 🎤🎉Feeling like @Pink on a stadium tour… We’re ready to share insights and engage with educators from across the state! Let's goooo! pic.twitter.com/0dGYKMmHEY

Unforgettable time at the @NYSUTWNY regional conference! 🤝 Inspired by our exceptional board of directors, their dedication shines through. And yes, we might have busted out some 90s dance moves—because who can resist the beats of that era? 🎶💃 @nysut @coachcant pic.twitter.com/iQYbgwksGi
