The Education Department helps LIUNA leaders (elected officers and union staff) develop effective leadership skills, so they can better serve members. At the 2011Convention, LIUNA Convention Delegates mandated that newly elected Business Managers and Secretary-Treasurer’s are required to take a leadership course within their first term of office, and at least one additional course every three years thereafter.  (See Resolution 16)

Among the department's key activities are:

  • Coordinating LIUNA’s leadership education programs within LIUNA Regions.
  • Facilitating and expanding continuing education with the National Labor College and other institutions.
  • Developing leadership skills-based educational modules for Local and Regional needs.
  • Developing tools to ease and expand access to educational opportunities.
