Join a UPEA Standing Committee
Joining a standing committee is a great option for members looking to take an active role in UPEA.
These committees provide direct input and recommendations from the general membership to the Advisory Council and State Board. UPEA encourages members from all districts to become involved in one or more of these committees, share their input, and actively work toward the improvement of public employment. Members who cannot travel to the UPEA headquarters in Murray may participate virtually.
This committee reviews employee grievances where the employee is requesting additional representation by UPEA and UPEA legal counsel. Recommendations are then taken to the Board and voted upon by this body.
