Hi again everyone -

******************************
USAS Northeast Regional
Student Labor Conference
November 1-3, Amherst, MASS
******************************
www.usasnet.org/nesas www.usasnet.org/nesas
we're gearing up for our conference which is now just a precious
TWO WEEKS away. register ASAP! Is transportation an issue? Fret not!
We've got scholarships for transportation so no one will be left in the
dust. All you gotta do is ask.
when you're doing conference recruitment, keep in mind that you should
focus on bringing diversity to the conference; racial and gender
representation are very important to building a sustainable movement.
Secondly, try to convince younger students, who still have years of
student organizing ahead of them, to come. They'll learn valuable skills
that they will be able to take back to campus with them and make useful
contacts for future solidarity work!
Here's a list of potential workshops, followed by a tentative schedule:

-facilitation training
