Every delegate is highly encouraged to attend the OCSEA Workshops throughout convention. There are workshops being held Wednesday night, Thursday morning and Friday morning. All new delegates SHOULD attend one of the New Delegate Workshops, either on Wednesday night or Thursday morning to get a feel for what convention is all about.

There are two important workshops taking place Wednesday night during pre-convention. First, at 7 p.m., all Treasurers or future treasurers are encouraged to attend Wednesday's Financial Leadership Training. Next, at 8 p.m., the first of two New Delegate workshops will give new delegates an important introduction to convention. The New Employee Orientation Workshop will take place Friday morning. See descriptions and locations below. Please check the agenda for all workshops and events, including the Future of Work Expo.
