Join us in the Student Center at Wayne State University for the second installment of AFT Michigan’s 2018-19 Leadership Summit series! Conference registration and breakfast begins at 8:30 a.m. on Sat, Jan. 26.
Saturday will focus on Four Essential Union Capacities that were introduced at the August Leadership Summit. When you register, you will be prompted to choose workshops that correspond with these capacities. We encourage you to select workshop/track that is the most relevant for your current role within the union. We are also encouraging members to “master” a specific track by completing all of the workshops within each capacity and each local to send individuals to different tracks and build the strongest team possible.

Sunday: This Summit’s Sunday session will be larger than usual, most critically because we are hosting training on the new AFT Connect data system. We strongly urge every local to send at least one “data point person” to participate in this hands-on session. When you register for the Summit, you’ll receive a confirmation email asking if you want to register for one of the Sunday sessions:
- Data workshop
- LEAD local team planning (for locals who are part of the 2018-19 LEAD program)
- Member Organizing Institute training (to be part of this training, you must apply through your local)
Travel Support for Out-State Locals: Recognizing the distance some locals need to travel, AFT Michigan will help defray the cost of attendance for “out-state” locals located more than 80 miles away in two ways:
- Mileage: Reimbursed at the IRS rate for members from locals located more than 80 miles from the event
- Hotel: Reimburse up to $90 per member for lodging for those who are traveling more than 80 miles for the event
