Surrey County Branch Development Days 10th and 11th March
At this year's AGM and the Stewards' meeting in January we saw an influx of new officers and activists. This is a good sign that we are moving in the right direction.
We are holding two 'Branch Development Days' on 10th and 11th March at the SE Regional Office of UNISON in Guildford. We will be discussing recruitment, representation, communication and a branch strategy for the next 24 months. This will also be an important team building exercise.
All activists are welcome to come to these two days. All elected reps and officers are entitled to ask for time off to attend. If you wish to be added to the list, please contact the UNISON office on 0208 541 9091.
