The 2025 Great Lakes Union Leadership Institute, which will be held
June 22-26 at Lake Lawn Resort in Delavan, WI, is a four-day training
and leadership development program. It is co-sponsored by the Illinois
Federation of Teachers and the AFT’s Union Leadership Institute. The courses
are designed to enhance local capacity for all AFT constituency groups. The
purpose of the program is to provide hands-on learning of union skills, to
further acquaint you with the AFT and our issues, and to give you a chance
to exchange information with your union siblings in a relaxed, casual setting
with wonderful resort amenities. The program is open to any AFT member
but is designed with the needs of the Great Lakes Region in mind.
