Dear members,
As the holiday season approaches I want to say thank you for all of the support, guidance, time and patience you as members have given to the Education Association reps and negotiation team throughout this past year. We have heard great feedback on the current contract and that members are glad to get back to the thing they do best-supporting students! These are the rewards of our endless hours of labor. The true sign of love and passion for the work we do. I believe 2011 was a good year for many of our programs. We are looking forward to being able to devote our time back supporting and enhancing these programs.
Being at the helm of Education Association is both a privilege and a great responsibility. I am determined to make the very best of the upcoming year. With our strong, motivated team working together we can make our goals happen.
