EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
We are looking for members who will connect with your Bargaining Unit leadership to advocate for ONA members in your unit/program? You will direct members to ONA support services and act as a positive role model for ONA. Plus, you will disseminate ONA information to the members on your unit.
We also have several openings on various committees. If interested in getting involved please contact Jennifer Cepukas local139@ona.org for information
