GET INVOLVED

UFF-UF is a member-led organization. There are lots of ways to participate in our leadership and activities. Chapter officers, senators, and FEA delegates are elected for terms beginning April 1 of each year. Information on their duties is available here.  There are also lots of less formal ways to participate in our bargaining, contract enforcement, and membership activities. Simply email membership uff-uf-membership@googlegroups.com and let us know how you would like to get involved.
