Join us!
Union In Action (UIA) is currently recruiting representatives from diverse professional disciplines to serve on our Interdisciplinary Advisory Councils (IAC).
The IAC’s will serve as models of the collaborative resource communities that are one of the foundations of the UIA program development framework, and make substantive contributions to UIA programming.
UIA is seeking professionals from healthcare (medicine, nursing, other therapeutic disciplines), education, psychology, behavior science, developmental science, social work and organizational behavior; we are open to others who feel they can contribute to the UIA mission.
