At the October meeting of the Western Massachusetts SIB Committee, three e-board members attended and participated in the discussion. They provided an overview of the UBC structure and explained the functions of the Local, the Council, and the overall organization.
The overview was excellent and Sisters asked lots of questions. Many of the Sisters were new, so the details and historical background were very useful.
Sisters left the meeting with a clear understanding of how the union works, how they can get involved, and why they should get involved.
