Clara Allen Leadership School Back in Action for the Second Year in a Row

After several years off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CWA leaders brought back the Clara L Allen Leadership School last year, and followed up 2024’s strong and productive session with another week-long school this September.

The training, held at the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, brought together dozens of CWA activists from locals throughout District 1 to hone their leadership skills and learn from one another. Sessions covered topics including:

• Internal organizing
• Bargaining in the public and private sectors
• Leadership development
• Grievances and arbitration
• The impact of politics on our union and the labor movement
