Leadership Development
There are many programs and resources available to assist members in building the skills required for leadership positions at the Bargaining Unit, Local and Provincial levels, so they can represent members in all aspects of service delivery and ensure their rights are protected.
Our Learning Pathways document highlights workshops and education that assist members in developing leadership skills.
Our annual Leadership Summit is a week-long, in-person program that aims to hone leadership skills and empower members at all levels of experience, from grassroots activists to seasoned executives. It is a great opportunity to build relationships and share information and experiences.
Participants are typically divided into streams based on leadership experience or topics of interest. Executive teams should consider their Local/Bargaining Unit’s learning needs and which of their leaders would be motivated and engaged by this kind of educational opportunity.
The 2025 Leadership Summit will be held September 15-19, 2025 at the Oakwood Resort (70671 Bluewater Highway, Grand Bend, ON, N0M 1T0). It is a great opportunity for members to build relationships and share information and experiences.
