Committee Chair
CSO/NSO
2019
I continue to do my job as an Executive UniServ Director for my Option II in California. Life has been hectic with the pandemic – all of the bargaining and member representation, among othert things, has been keeping me busy. Professionally and personally it still does not feel like life has gotten back to some semblance of “normal.” However, I am blessed and continue to count those blessing as they happen.
What impact has the HTUP had on your life/career? It seems like different pieces of my HTUP experiences are regularly being woven into my career. Sometimes it is a story about something I heard or learned. Other times I find myself looking at challenges in a new and different way. I have found getting to know what happens in private sector unions to be an invaluable part of looking at bargaining and other issues in a whole new light.
Do you have an interesting/funny story of when you attended the program? I am a California girl – born and raised. Snow is something we visit for the day to have fun, we do not live in it. I was hanging out with my classmates and it started to snow – and stick. This California girl walked back to my apartment, in the snow, uphill both ways (LOL j/K) and I was shocked I made it. I was so excited I called my family to celebrate. Someone was walking by as I was on a conference call with my family celebrating and the look they gave me – priceless. So I briefly explained I was a California girl and they joined in with my family congratulating me. But then they mentioned they could not drive on our freeways and we briefly chatted about that – in the falling snow. It was fun. 🙂
