CSEA faculty members joined educators and union leaders from across Central Ohio at the recent Central OEA/NEA Power Up Conference in Hilliard, Ohio, for a day of professional learning, networking, and fresh ideas. Conference sessions explored topics directly relevant to our faculty, including educator wellness, student conduct, and effective union communication. These conversations connect closely with CSEA's ongoing efforts to strengthen faculty support, improve working conditions, and build a more engaged and informed faculty community.

One of the best parts? This professional development opportunity was a benefit of union membership! Conference registration, breakfast, and lunch were all included, making it easy for members to spend the day learning, connecting, and enjoying time with fellow educators. Events like Power Up are a great reminder of what our union dues help make possible. We're proud to have CSEA faculty taking advantage of these opportunities and bringing new ideas back to Columbus State!
