General Membership Meetings

Local 258 General Membership Meetings are more than just gatherings—every meeting is a chance to share ideas, solve challenges, and build momentum for the work we do together. This is where your voice is heard and your ideas come to life.

Why Attend?
Attending a meeting means stepping into a space where decisions are made and change begins. It’s an opportunity to connect with colleagues, influence union priorities, and contribute to a stronger future for our members and students.

Voting Rights

As a member of AFSCME Local 258, your voice is powerful, and your vote is one of the most important tools you have to shape the direction of our union. Voting is not just a right—it’s a responsibility that ensures every member has a say in decisions that affect our work, our benefits, and our future.

Voting is a right reserved for dues-paying members of AFSCME Local 258 in good standing. Being a member in good standing means your dues are current, and you actively support the union’s mission.

Committee Meetings

Our meetings are where inspiration turns into action. Every voice matters—especially yours. Whether you’re a longtime member or new to the union, your insights and participation will make us stronger. Announcements to committee meetings will be emailed in advance to all dues-paying members. 

When you volunteer with AFSCME Local 258, you’re not just making a difference for yourself—you’re making a difference for every classified employee in EGUSD. Together, we create better working conditions, stronger schools, and a brighter future for the students and families we serve.

Every contribution, no matter how small, adds up to something powerful. You have the potential to make a difference—not just in your workplace, but in your life and in the lives of others. The question is: When will you take the first step?

Attend a meeting/event, join a committee, consider becoming a steward, and eventually run for an elected position. Leadership is a journey, and we’re here to provide training, support, and mentorship every step of the way.
