Standing Committees

Standing Committees work in conjunction with our executive board to implement our union's policies and shared values. Through shared interests, we are able to work together to achieve common goals. We are more than just what we do for a living. By joining a committee, you can bring your shared views, concerns, and ideas to accomplish many great things that are beneficial to you and your fellow union members. If you are interested in joining a committee, we highly encourage you to come to the next union meeting to start the process.
