In an effort to provide Leadership Training for local leaders we wanted to offer the Grace Carroll Rocky Mountain Labor School (GCRMLS). The training will be taking place in Golden, Colorado, July 7, 2024 – July 13, 2024, registration is currently open if you are interested and would like more information, please visit their website https://www.gcrmls.org.  The registration fee covers rooms and meals for all attendees.

Grace Carroll Rocky Mountain Labor School was founded on December 12, 1956, as The Rocky Mountain Labor School. The following year, the first annual GCRMLS was hosted in 1957 at the Alpine Rose Lodge in Brighton Utah. Local leaders, members, and union activists gathered in one location to learn, gain tools, and knowledge to do their role and their job better.

Every year after, the school has traveled expanding to the other Rocky Mountain States reaching all eight of the Rocky Mountain States, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Montana, and Wyoming.

These Rocky Mountain States are represented through the Board of Directors. Which is made up of the Executive Officer of each of the eight Rocky Mountain States AFL-CIOs. The school has been officially endorsed by these state organizations.

Unfortunately, neither Lumen’s Partners in Education or AT&T mobility tuition assistance will pay for these classes.

District 7 will be providing 5 scholarships for applicants to attend and have placed spots on hold.  The scholarships will be for tuition only; they will not include transportation, lost time or incidental meal expenses. Scholarship applicants may be asked to share rooms. If you are interested in a scholarship, please email me at pcastaneda@cwa-union.org
