It&#8217;s really quite simple and requires only a willingness to conduct the business of the union. To be eligible, members must be dues-paying members as of March 7 of this year, and collect three signatures from co-workers between April 22 and May 13 in order to stand for election as a Convention Delegate. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pef.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/PEF-BecomeConventionDelegate.pdf\">We&#8217;ve created a flyer with all that information on it and more<\/a> &#8212; including what elected delegates can expect to do for four days in Syracuse this September! You&#8217;ve heard it before &#8212; but PEF is at our best when we&#8217;re UNION STRONG and nothing is stronger than the PEF Convention when it comes to determining union policy and shaping the agenda for the year ahead. So on April 22 visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pef.org\/pef-convention\/\">Convention page<\/a> for instructions about how to petition to become a delegate.
