  • Effectively present information and respond to questions from diverse groups of union members, employer representatives, elected officials, and organizational partners. 
  • Speak, and train members to speak, persuasively in advocacy forums, including negotiations, union meetings, Council meetings, and other public engagements.

  • Define parameters of problems, collect information, establish facts, and draw valid conclusions.
