It recognizes the strength that comes from having leaders of all age groups and generations.<\/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\">Most of PEF\u2019s leaders are Baby Boomers or Gen X, with few Millennials in the mix. The Emerging Leaders program hopes to bring in more Millennials and even members of Generation Z so that they can lead the union into the future. One of the institute\u2019s core beliefs is that knowledge must be exchanged between generations.\u00a0<\/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\">A three-day pilot program is taking place the final weekend of July, after which members who complete the program will work towards completing an \u201cin-service\u201d assignment involving some sort of activism in their specific communities. The 15 members participating in the pilot program will shadow and work alongside an existing union leader to do that work.<\/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\">During the program on July 28-30, participants will navigate and connect with PEF\u2019s values, union building, and how to effectively communicate with members and non-members about the union and organized labor in general. The curriculum for the Emerging Leaders Institute is being developed with and facilitated by the American Federation of Teacher\u2019s (AFT) Union Leadership Institute.<\/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\">The institute aims to give its graduates the tools to run their own issue campaigns and navigate the sometimes-murky landscape of social media. The institute also hopes to connect with other union allies in the AFL-CIO and local communities.<\/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\">After the first pilot program, the plan is to offer new Emerging Leaders Institute sessions three to four times each year.
