Governance

Board Sworn in 2009
SEIU Local 517M is governed by an Executive Board which is elected by, and from the general membership. The membership is divided into two primary divisions: School & Local Government Division; and the State Employee Division.

The State Employee Division is statewide, whereas the School and Local Government Division is divided into four primary Regions to better service our members.  The Division and Region boards can be accessed by clicking on the appropriate links in the navigation bars above.
