Meet Executive Board Member Jessica Dunn

"I am in my ninth year of teaching 3rd Grade at Adelaide Elementary. In the spring I also teach Drama, after school, for 5th and 6th Graders. I have been a proud member of DEA, UEA, and NEA, since my New Teacher Orientation. Two years ago I volunteered to be an Association Representative because I wanted to be more actively involved. Since then I have served in many capacities as an Association Rep and now as an Executive Board member.

For many years I was uninformed about my rights as a teacher, naïve to the hardships facing my colleagues, and overwhelmed by all of my responsibilities. Two of my current goals are to help other people overcome similar feelings and share with them information about the association that has empowered me as an educator.
