2006 CFT Convention

The annual California Federation of Teachers convention, the highest decision-making body of the statewide organization, will be held this year March 24-26 at the Sacramento Sheraton Grand.

Speakers will include AFT national President Ed McElroy, British Columbia Teachers Federation President Jinny Sims, and, in a planned rally on the Capitol steps, the CFT-endorsed candidate for governor, State Treasurer Phil Angelides.

There will also be a full range of workshops exploring union and education-related issues.

The union's vitality and democracy depend on participation in the convention by delegates from all locals in good standing representing all the divisions--classified, community college, early childhood/K-12, adult education and university--of the CFT.

Here are the materials and information delegates need to get registered, reserve a room at the hotel, submit a resolution, and nominate local publications and communications for awards.
