Lead Steward Training

Date: Monday, June 16, 2025
Time: 9am - 4:30pm PST
Location: Virtual via Zoom

Prerequisite: HSA’s Basic Steward Training

This one-day training session is designed for Lead Stewards. General Stewards working at sites with no lead stewards and Assistant Lead Stewards are also welcome to apply.

As chapter leaders, you have additional opportunities, responsibilities, and tasks. We will review the roles and responsibilities of Lead Stewards, including processes regarding chapter meetings, chapter elections, new member orientation, convention delegate selection, and more.

This workshop will introduce the tools and resources for Lead Stewards to succeed in this role and maintain strong steward teams.

Quotes from past participants:

“I feel 1000 times more equipped to handle my position as Lead Steward and look forward to the coming year.”

“Awesome! I appreciate all the info and being able to liaise with other stewards. The guest speakers offered great info.”
