The skills program is named for the late Bonnie Ladin, an educator who:

…for 30 years used her talent for helping members and staff to train generations of organizers and other leaders for SEIU. She served in several SEIU leadership positions, including director of  the Office Worker Division, the “Dignity” Nursing Home Organizing Campaign and the Healthcare Division. Prior to her death earlier this year, she worked as an educator at the  Labor College.
