Sent via email this morning, from Laura Rhoads, our chapter president:
I would like to remind the membership that the grant programs funded under Labor-Management, such as the Affirmative Action/Drescher Leave and Individual Professional Development Awards, are not in effect as we are currently without a contract. When we ratify a new contract, we are quite hopeful that new grant programs will be in place. In the meanwhile, save all receipts from any conferences, workshops, or other professional activities because the programs will probably be retroactive as they were in the last contract and a member can apply for something already completed.
On the subject of receipts, don’t forget that the Potsdam UUP Chapter will reimburse you up to $30.00 if you take a defensive driving course. Please provide your receipt to the UUP Office and we will process your refund. This is a great opportunity to reduce your auto insurance rates and get some cash back from UUP. Course offerings and prices vary, so check with the DMV and local newspapers for times and locations.
Please let me know if you have other questions or if you need more information.
