Think it over, Member. Strong Local Associations have active members. Although the specific formal and informal positions vary from local to local, most locals have standard positions in addition to the elected officers. Communicator - helps Association Representative distribute information. Grievance Specialist advises members and ARs on the contract.
Most local officers are delighted to have the help.
Even if you don t have time to take on a long term position, you can still be involved if you know what s going on. Attend an Association meeting. Volunteer to serve on a Committee. Ask your Association Representative if there are any projects or small tasks you could help with. Read the Newsletter, and volunteer to help with those projects that interest you.
