Vice President/PR&R Chair
Massachusetts Teachers Association
1992
I combined my teaching career with my union career. I first was a local officer and PR&R Chair. Later I was hired by the State organization (Massachusetts Teachers Association) as a Regional Representative. Duties included contract negotiation, grievance matters and general union matters.
What impact has the HTUP had on your life/career?
I loved the HTUP program. It taught me how to approach union matters, proud union history, and gave me confidence to properly represent my various city and town employees. It was a great experience.
Do you have an interesting/funny story of when you attended the program?
Nothing really specific, but everyone there was terrific. We had a lot of great conversations and an awful lot of laughs together. Great union bonding.
