The 51st AFSCME Council 13 Convention will be held at The Hershey Lodge & Convention Center, Hershey, PA, April 28-30, 2023. The Convention Call was mailed to Local Union Presidents and Secretaries on January 24, and a corrected FAQ page was mailed on January 30.

This Convention is all about riding the Green Wave and celebrating the victories of AFSCME members across the commonwealth. At our last Convention, we honored our union’s rich history and reflected on 50 years of powerful representation of Pennsylvania’s public employees. This year, we embrace the present and strategize how to continue achieving victories in every arena where we serve.

On Friday night, Council 13 will host the Delegate Reception where you can join the “Green Wave Luau.” Wear your favorite Hawaiian/tropical apparel, enjoy some food and drinks with your AFSCME family, and get ready to conduct business at the general session on Saturday.

Before the Delegate Reception, at 6 PM, members have the opportunity to take part in one of three different workshops, including First-Time Delegate Orientation, Preparing Your Grievance Packets and Conducting Effective New Employee Orientations!

All reservations must be made by March 27, 2023. Reserve rooms here!

We hope to see you in Hershey!
