How To Register for a Workshop
It is important to pre-register because the workshop attendance is used to determine the amount of materials and reservations for meals. If you register but cannot attend, please contact the region office to cancel your attendance. This will provide other members the opportunity to register.
- Call the Union Office; You must provide CSEA ID and name, with proper spelling and the appropriate information as requested. Indicate if reasonable accommodations are required.
- If a workshop is canceled or postponed, you will be notified via the telephone number you give at time of registration.
- Be sure to register for the workshop that applies to your bargaining unit (State, Local Government or Private Sector).
- Please bring your contract if noted in the workshop description.
If you have any questions regarding the workshop content or format, please contact the Education and Training Department at 1-800-342-4146, extension 1363.
