Check your calendar and plan to attend a Membership and Treasurers Workshop Webinar over the summer. These workshops provide valuable information to help treasurers, membership contacts, and chairpersons successfully complete their duties. Additional details and registration information will be sent to local leaders soon.

Based on feedback from prior years, PSEA will continue to offer the membership and treasurers workshops as online webinars only. For those who prefer an in-person connection, financial management staff will be available at the Gettysburg Summer Leadership Conference and will be happy to answer your questions. We are always looking for new ways to provide information and training to our Local Leaders. Look for more upcoming training opportunities soon.

Local Association Presidents:
The Local Email Utility, available to you and your designees, is a useful tool for you to quickly email all your members without the need to create and maintain a separate database of member email addresses.
Your access carried over on September 1 (as long as you remained president). After September 1, your designees from the prior year were deleted and you need to log in to Local Leader Tools to set up your designee(s) for the current membership year.
If you have any questions about this tool, please contact PSEA-Financial Management at 800-944-7732.
