Lindsay's Experience in Union Work
I have been active in all levels of our union, held local and state elected positions, been a part of cadres, committees, and cabinets, engaged in political activism, presented at conferences, increased transparency, engagement, and communication for members, and worked with members to grow a stronger union. I am so excited about the work of our union and the positive impacts we have had and will continue to have our our schools and communities.
