CMET Info Session- May 6th 6:30-7:30 PM
The theme of the 2025 Core Member Engagement Team is: “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu”.
HSA members have been experiencing high workload and burnout caused by shortages for decades. As a result of dedicated advocacy from hundreds of members, we are beginning to see change – but how can we continue to make progress? The 2025 program explores this topic through education led by experts, group discussion analyzing real-world examples, and hands-on assignments to practice proven union organizing strategies.
The program begins with a multi-day training, orientation and team-building workshop focused on understanding our current moment and the forces shaping our politics, economy, and social trust. This will be followed by a multi-week period to review the information and work on an independent or small group project. While participants are expected to contribute some voluntary time to the program, for the final two weeks members will take union leave from their jobs and will have their wages paid by the union.
HSA encourages members who experience marginalization or who identify as equity denied to apply to be part of the 2025 Core Member Engagement Team.
