Registration Information

We are pleased to announce that the Region 1A Summer School will be held from Sunday, July 26, through Friday, July 31, 2026, at the Walter & May Reuther Family Education Center at Black Lake. Sessions will focus on developing committee skills, increasing awareness of diversity and unions.

ELIGIBILITY TO ATTEND

Region 1A Summer School is open to UAW members in good standing who belong to any Local Union in Region 1A.

All delegates should arrive at the Family Education Center by 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 26, and stay until the conference ends at 9 a.m. on Friday, July 31. Please arrange arrivals and departures accordingly.

Local unions are responsible for all transportation costs for delegates who live less than 500 miles from the Family Education Center.

Delegates who choose to drive to the Family Education Center should be aware of the “multiple of three” rule. When a local sends more than one delegate to a session, delegates should travel in groups of up to three per vehicle. Only one driver per local, per group of three, is reimbursed for mileage by the International Union.

Please be aware of the following Walter and May Reuther UAW Family Education Center policy:

Vehicles permitted to park in the FEC must be union-made and have a VIN number starting with 1, 2, 4, or 5 (indicating they are made in the USA or Canada). VIN numbers are located on the dashboard or in the door jamb of vehicles. When arriving at the FEC, security guards will check each vehicle’s VIN. If the VIN does not start with 1, 2, 4, or 5, parking is available in a lot next to the FEC’s front gate. An FEC bus will then transport those delegates to the hotel registration desk.
