Meet Executive Board Member Trudy Henderson

Trudy Henderson is a fourth grade teacher at Buffalo Point Elementary. Trudy has been a Davis School District teacher of the year and has been honored by the school board for changing the state song. Trudy had been a member of the association since her first day in the classroom and has served in a variety of leadership positions including being vice president of two local associations and continuous service representing her building, district, and state.

Why am I a proud member of DEA/UEA/NEA?
“I am a professional and I belong to my professional organization. I am involved in association activities because together the members have the strength to stand up for what we know is right for kids' learning and the environments we teach them in every day. Public schools are the future of America to educate the workforce with skills and knowledge. What better legacy is there to leave to the future generations of educators and the students than the laws, policies, and funding we are working so hard to gain for them today?”
