2. Training. After a description by Governor Grasso of a two-day strategic planning seminar offered by Joe Swerdzewski, discussion ensued over whether training sessions should be staged as daylong events or broken into a series of short teleconferences. Discussion turned briefly to the development of a basic curriculum for core training on federal sector unions and bargaining units. Agreement emerged that there is a need for individuals who are willing to learn and take on specific roles in CREA’s leadership succession. Discussion is to continue at a later meeting.
