Self-nominations are now open for Chapter Chairs for the 2024-2025 school year.
Chapter Chairs are the critical contract enforcer, communicator, and lead organizer for your worksite. All union victories — including 2023 wins to lower class, increase staffing, save healthcare, and increase salary by 21% — are built from having strong Chapter Chairs who drive organizing at their sites.
Any UTLA member in good standing who has spent a majority of their work time within the chapter for at least two calendar months before submitting the self-nomination form is eligible to become Chapter Chair.
The deadline to self-nominate is April 26. Elections will be held at chapters where more than one member has self-nominated. If only one member from a chapter self-nominates, they will become the Chapter Chair upon completion of the Notice of Chapter Chair Election form, which will be emailed to them after April 26.
The responsibilities of a UTLA Chapter Chair include:
Chapter Chairs are supported in this critical work by a site-based organizing committee – the Chapter Action Team, or CAT.
