In preparation for UUP’s annual political action campaign, the union’s Outreach Committee is traversing the state, holding training sessions to educate members on the best ways to advocate for the state university and its academic and professional faculty.
Committee Co-chairs Glenn McNitt of New Paltz and Thomas Tucker of SUNY Buffalo are using the regional trainings to gear up for the union’s legislative advocacy efforts, which officially kick off in January with a multimedia advertising campaign, followed by the annual Legislative Luncheon Feb. 12 in Albany.
“Our members understand the power of political action in SUNY’s success,” UUP President William Scheuerman said. “That’s why so many of them are willing to take time out of their busy schedules to develop and hone their advocacy skills.”
