The MTA Next Generation Leadership Program is for MTA members who want to help make their locals powerful and effective organizations. It is designed to inspire bottom-up activism and to help members solve workplace problems through active engagement.
The primary focus is on learning participatory and inclusive strategies that can be used to broaden member engagement in your local association. The program helps participants understand the fundamentals of outreach, recruitment, involvement, strategy development, decision-making, and planning for direct action.
