Building Representatives hold a very important role not only in our union but also in our schools. In general, there are four main roles of Building Representatives. These roles are described below:
Building Representatives, by definition, represent our members and the Silver Falls Education Association. Our building representatives must be effective leaders that other members feel comfortable turning to for support in a variety of ways.
As a problem solver, Building Reps help to mediate conflicts, overcome challenges, and facilitate productive communication between our members and the administration.
That means having your building structured so that there is a visible, functioning Union network that can be used to not only enforce the contract, but to advocate for positive changes to improve our schools and beyond.
Especially for members new to a building, Representatives act as someone they can turn to for help and to get questions answered, and to feel welcomed into a new environment.
