UTLA Chapter Chairs

A strong Chapter Chair at each school is crucial to the success of the union. They are the official union rep on site and serve as a vital link between the school site and the union. Besides keeping members apprised of union activities and policies, chapter chairs also defend members’ professional rights and resolve conflicts with administration. We appreciate the hard work done by all of our Chapter Chairs.

Each week, Chapter Chairs are emailed "Tuesday Talking Points", the latest UTLA updates. Please make sure we have your correct email address. (Non-LAUSD email addresses are strongly preferred)
