NYSUT is excited to welcome nearly 2,000 delegates from across the state at this year's annual Representative Assembly conference in Rochester.
“The Representative Assembly is our largest and most important governance meeting, but it’s also a time to come together to celebrate our successes and have some fun with our extended union family,” said NYSUT President Melinda Person, noting the theme for the 2025 Convention — Equality, Progress, Play — is fitting for a city that was home to Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony and houses The Strong National Museum of Play.
Leaders will kick off the work of the convention Thursday, May 1 at the pre-RA Local and Retiree Council Presidents Conference. Workshop topics include negotiating Paid Family Leave; Workplace Violence Prevention Program; APPR Plans; SRP mentoring; and understanding current threats to Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare.
During the RA, NYSUT officers will report out on their progress in implementing goals from last year and highlight the many successes the union was able to achieve in 2024.
Delegates to the convention will consider more than 40 resolutions on education, civil and human rights, healthcare and workplace safety, legislative and political action, and pensions and retirement. For members not attending, follow the action at nysut.org/ra.
