CONVENTION WORKSHOP - Allan M. Lahoff, PEF Education Department Training Specialist and PEF staff, reviews the finer points of Out-Of-Title work with delegates at PEF 2004 Annual Convention at  Lake Placid.
Education is the key to our success. The PEF Education Department is charged with providing PEF's elected leaders, members and staff with the resources to enhance their knowledge, skills and abilities needed to:

• Represent our PEF member’s contractual and legal rights, 

• Lead and Implement the initiatives, policies and procedures adopted by the Union, 

• Advocate to protect and enhance members’ rights and benefits and to create, and 

• Provide educational opportunities that enhance their job skills and career mobility. 

We accomplish these objectives by working with elected leaders to design successful educational conferences, developing and delivering technical training modules, and working with other departments, such as Field Services, Civil Service Enforcement and Contract Administration.

Providing training and educational services to the PEF membership, elected leaders, and staff is critical to the development of an informed, active membership and building PEF’s power and influence. The department, working with other PEF departments, elected leaders, the international unions and consultants, designs programs tailored to the specific needs of the group to be trained. Our union based training programs incorporate real life issues experienced by PEF members on the job. 

Lastly, the Education staff also serves as a resource to a number of PEF committees including the Article 15 Professional Development Committee (PDC) and the PEF Training Evaluation Committee.
