2005 CFT Convention

 

The annual California Federation of Teachers convention, the highest decision-making body of the statewide organization, will be held this year March 18-20 at the Manhattan Beach Mariott.

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.

Note: if you need Adobe Reader--necessary to download the "Convention Call," "Hotel directions," "Childcare info" and "Communications Awards" PDF forms--click here. The "Convention Resolution" form is a Microsoft Word document, and should download to your computer like the PDF forms.

A few important deadlines (more in the Convention Call):
