2024 Anna Stewart Memorial Project – expression of interest closing!
All IEU(SA) women members are invited to submit an expression of interest to participate in the 2024 Anna Stewart Memorial Project.
The Anna Stewart Memorial Project (ASMP) is a union training program run annually by SA Unions.
It brings together women, non-binary and gender diverse members from a range of unions in a safe, supportive and energising training environment.
The program presents a unique opportunity for IEU women interested in building their skills, union knowledge and networks to enable them to play a more active role in our union whether that be at your worksite, sector or broader union level.
The program is open to all IEU women, non-binary and gender diverse members.
Testimonials from our 2023 IEU participants:
“The people I had the privilege of meeting through the ASMP are each inspiring in their own way. I would highly recommend the Anna Stewart Memorial Program to anyone who is interested in advocacy and activism.”
“What was most important to me within the whole experience of the Anna Stewart Memorial Project was the sense of camaraderie we found as we shared our own experiences of union to make the lives of others better through collective action.”
“I would thoroughly recommend the project to others who wish to develop their leadership skills personally and/or within the union movement. It’s definitely a journey of self discovery and one that challenges you on many different levels.”
The training program includes:
- An initial full week of training: 8-12 April
- Work shadow day in another union: 18 July (date open to negotiation)
- Follow up days : 17 and 19 July
The IEU will facilitate release and fund replacement salary for successful applicants.
Whilst expressions of interest close Friday 16 February 2024, if you are interested we are happy to receive your expression of interest by 12pm Monday 19 February.
To apply please forward a 250 word expression of interest outlining your union involvement to date and why you would like to participate in the program to: Meredith Farmer: meredithf@ieusa.org.au
