Members from Northwestern PSEA Retired attended the Gettysburg Summer Leadership Conference to develop leadership training and help provide you with up to date information. Becky Travis, Jean Eller, Mary Ellen Stickle, Patricia Wilson and Sam Talarico attended Government Relations School. During their time at Gettysburg, they had opportunity to listen to Dr. G. Terry Madonna, met with legislators, toured the Capitol in Harrisburg, and participated in discussions concerning relationships with elected officials, the upcoming election and redistricting. Laura Kemling attended the Organizing/Communications School focusing on the Technology Track. She worked on ways to keep our local PSEA Retired web page up to date and accurate so members can quickly access information pertaining to our local PSEA RETIRED group. Kevin Kantz and Dick Eberlin attended and participated in PSEA Retired School focusing on various classes that were informative on current political climate, citizen advocacy and interacting with legislators that agreed to meet with retired members. Both attended the Retired Board meeting on the final day of the conference. Mark Bowen, state representative for Member Benefits Retired, attended Membership Benefits Workshop to explore new offers that would increase benefits offered to all PSEA members (including retired members), reviewed current benefits being offered and utilized by current members and discussed concerns involving current benefits offered to members.
