AFT Michigan Winter Classes
Tuesday Evenings in January, February and March AFT Michigan offers classes to help you develop the tools you need to be an effective union leader/member. They are open to everyone in the union, at no cost, and we encourage anyone who thinks of themselves as a "leader," wants to be a leader, could be a leader, or who just wants to better understand what a union does, to attend as many of them as you can.
Some of the classes, like Strategic Planning, are two part classes and the second class builds upon what was learned in the first class. Others you are welcome to attend a single class, or attend all eight sessions!
Classes are held every Tuesday, starting January 17th, from 5:00p.m. to 8:00p.m. at the AFT Michigan office in Detroit. A light dinner is provided. These classes do not qualify for SB-CEUs.
