I have been a member of the DEA, UEA, and NEA since I started teaching. While I was student teaching, my cooperating teacher told me to join, and I did. I became the AR at my school during my second year of teaching. I have been either an AR or on the Executive Board since then. I think that as teachers we need to be unified and proactive in our association. I have worked on many committees with the DEA and the school district. We are very lucky to have such a great working relationship with our leaders in the District. I feel that when teachers are part of the same organization, our united voice becomes stronger. I enjoy working with teachers as part of my role on the Executive Board and look forward to doing it in the future."
