Are you interested in playing a bigger role in your union?

1. MTA’s Annual Meeting is May 9-10 in Boston

 

Dear MSP members,

I am writing to encourage you to consider attending the MTA annual meeting. As a member with good intentions but little time to devote to our union throughout the semester, I find that attending the annual meeting as a delegate allows me to serve when I am able and at a time when my service is greatly needed. The annual meeting offers a glimpse into the issues and needs that affect educators from K-12 and higher ed throughout Massachusetts, and allows us to demonstrate our strength as higher educators in a forum that has traditionally been focused on K-12. I believe that our presence at the meeting is hugely important and our voice is beginning to be heard. We are seeing tremendous payoffs in the work our union has been doing for us, and your attendance at the annual meeting is a great way to show your support for their work and your commitment to the higher ed platform in our state.

Hope to see you there.

Leda Cooks, Communication
