The 2024 SEIU Steward Conference is for SEIU 503 stewards who have been elected by their peers to represent them in the enforcement of their Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA or Contract).
Stewards play a special role in their workplace by representing workers facing disciplinary actions, or violations of the terms and conditions of their employment contract. This event is an opportunity for stewards to collaborate, learn new skills, and celebrate the hard work and dedication to their roles.
There will be a dinner celebration and awards ceremony for outstanding stewards on Saturday night.
