This is my first year holding this title and being as actively involved in the union as I am. I attended PEF Convention in October 2022 in Niagara Falls and really learned a lot more about what the union does for our members. Most recently I attended our Leadership Conference and gained more knowledge on ways to communicate with and advocate for members in my Division and Region. I have been able to educate members on our Membership Benefits programs, the ongoing contract discussions and have helped fellow nurses better understand the title re-allocation process that recently occurred. I have also been able to sign up several members for COPE. (PEF\u2019s voluntary fund for federal lobbying.)<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I have had great training and guidance from Shelby Wisneski, Regional Coordinator for Region 2, as she previously held the role of Division leader.

I feel the union work and mission is important and I am glad to be a small part of that work and helping to see the mission through.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; April 3, 2023 &#8212; This is part of a series of Q&amp;As with Union leaders across the state.
