Our HERstories highlight the strong female leaders in our union, and help to empower more women to take on leadership roles in all sorts of ways within their local unions, their communities, and within NYSUT.

Chaired by NYSUT Executive Vice President Jolene DiBrango, the NYSUT Women’s Committee has four main goals: encourage more locals to develop in-house women’s committees; educate female members about the work of the union; highlight women-specific issues, including inequalities in pay, health care and education; and involve more union women in leadership roles.

This Social Media and Event Calendar (PDF) is a living document to use as a frame to start a conversation in your local about recognizing and celebrating women’s history and significant social justice events.

Get social! Follow the committee on Twitter @NYSUTWomensComm, share and follow the conversation at #NYSUTWomen, and join the new Facebook Group.
