2025 WFSE Convention Information
WFSE will hold our 51st Biennial Convention October 3-5, 2025 at the DoubleTree Hotel in Seatac, WA.
Want to attend convention?
The Convention Call will be mailed to WFSE locals on June 5, 2025. This is the first date that locals may hold nominations and elections for delegates/alternates to attend the 2025 convention.
Convention delegates are elected through their Local unions. Please contact your local president if you are interested in attending the convention.
Here is a guide with important deadlines. Note that the times and order of events during convention are tentative.
How Convention Works
WFSE local unions elect delegates and alternates to take part in our convention. When it is in session, our convention is the largest governing body of our union.
Delegates set our union’s priorities for the future, renew shared commitments and strategize to make us stronger.
Convention Business
The primary union business that takes place at convention is:
WFSE’s four officers (president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer, which make up the Executive Committee) are elected by the delegates
Policies for the next biennium are formulated
Any amendments to the WFSE constitution are considered
Other Convention Activities
The convention is not solely focused on business matters. We also take the time to reflect on our activism, celebrate the achievements of our fellow members, and learn about how to take part in convention and the critical issues facing our membership.
Convention Awards
WFSE members rise to the occasion to help our union siblings and our communities. As public service workers, it's what we do. And over the past two years, our union has proven that there is nothing we can’t accomplish when we rise up in solidarity with one another. By presenting Convention Awards, we recognize the members who have gone above and beyond.
Convention Workshops
Additionally, we offer educational opportunities through Convention Workshops, including a New Delegate workshop. It's an excellent starting point for those who have not attended a convention before. You'll get the chance to meet new delegates, learn about the basic information of convention, and how to participate in union business, such as speaking, voting, and taking action on resolutions and amendments.
