Charting Our Course

President
March 03, 2025

Dear Fellow CSEA Members,

It’s hard to believe a month has passed since writing my last letter! The more involved I become with our union, the more I realize there is so much to engage in. The work our members do every day is truly remarkable, and I feel so honored to experience and understand more of what our incredible staff accomplish. My intention this week is to share with you my vision for our chapter moving forward.

Our union is built on the principles of strength, unity, and advocacy. To continue advancing our collective interests, I am committed to fostering an environment of transparency, collaboration, and empowerment. These principles will guide every decision and action we take together.

Transparency: 

Open and honest communication is the foundation of trust. I will work to ensure that you are informed about all union matters, from contract negotiations to policy changes. Regular updates will be provided through newsletters, meetings, and an open-door policy where your questions and concerns are always welcome.

Collaboration: 

Our greatest strength lies in our unity. I encourage active participation from every member, and I value your voices in shaping the direction of our union. By working together, we can address challenges more effectively and create meaningful progress that benefits us all.

Empowerment: 

Each member of our union plays a crucial role in our success. I am committed to providing the resources, education, and support necessary to empower you in your careers and within our organization. Through training programs, leadership opportunities, and advocacy initiatives, we will work to ensure that every member has the tools they need to thrive and contribute meaningfully to our shared mission.

In the coming months, I hope to hear directly from you regarding your concerns, your ideas, and your vision for our future. I urge you to get involved, share your insights, and help shape the path forward. Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient union that truly reflects the needs and aspirations of its members. Let’s stand united, support one another, and work toward a future that prioritizes opportunity and respect for all.

Thank you for your commitment and dedication. I look forward to working with each of you as we embark on this journey together.

Angie
