Got a great idea?
It could win you $5,000

SEIU members have a lot of smart ideas for improving public services. When we're able to run with them, it benefits the public, helps our employers, and improves our jobs. Everybody wins.

Do you have a new idea you think will really improve the quality of public services? Or a great idea you already brought to life that could work in other places? Are you a member of an SEIU Public Services Division local?

If so, please enter your idea in the "Everybody Wins" contest. Top winners will receive cash prizes and recognition at the SEIU 2008 Convention in San Juan, Puerto Rico. If your idea wins first prize, your SEIU Public Services Division local will receive a $20,000 prize it can use to help bring the idea to life.
