Delegates to MTA Annual Meeting

April 21, 2020

The MTA Annual meeting scheduled for May 1 and 2 in Springfield has been redesigned as a virtual conference which will take place on May 2, from 9 am to 12 pm. During this condensed virtual meeting of delegates, the MTA will approve of its budget for next year and conduct an election of President, Vice President, and our Region 23 Executive Committee member, in addition to other important business of our union. 

Delegates are below in alphabetical order (Sarah Emilio represents our district on the Board of Directors, so she will be a 19th vote in our delegation by default).

In Solidarity,

Anthony

I am currently the new membership committee chair and serve as one of the Building Representatives at Golden Hill. Thank you for choosing me to be a delegate toe the 2020 MTA Annual Meeting.

Jill Bouchard – I am a teacher at Nettle Middle School and have been the HEA treasurer for the last six years. I accept the nomination to be a delegate for the MTA Annual convention. It is an honor to have been nominated.

Julie Chachus is in her first year as an ESP at Nettle, but has been an educator for 23 years. She is currently working to earn a teacher’s license in Special Education for Moderate Disabilities.

Hello I am Barry Davis the music teacher at Golden Hill School. I have been an educator in Haverhill and a member of the HEA for four years. I currently serve as one of the Building Representatives at Golden Hill. Thank you for choosing me to be a delegate to the 2020 MTA Annual Meeting.

Suzette DiTonno – I am a third grade teacher at Pentucket Lake and the 2nd Vice President of the HEA. Thank you for the nomination to be a delegate to the MTA Annual Convention.

Hi all! My name is Anita Fowler. I have been a teacher since 1998. I have worked in three states, 4 districts and 5 schools. This is my first year in Haverhill, where I am the K-2 teacher at the TEACH Program. I have always been an active union member. I accept this nomination as a delegate at the MTA convention and hope to be of service.

My name is Nicole LaRose-Sanchez and I’m in my 27th year of teaching. 22 of those years teaching have been in the Haverhill Public School System. Although , I am not originally from Haverhill, we felt it was important to live in the community where I taught and moved to Haverhill almost 20 years ago. My youngest is still a student of the HPS and had many wonderful teachers over the years as did my oldest. During my career I gradually and slowly became involved in the union. My journey began as part of a negotiation team for teachers which led to my current role as a teacher rep. What I have learned being a HPS staff member and union member is the importance of being a team player with our colleagues while advocating for our students‘ learning conditions. Thanks for this opportunity to be a HEA delegate.

Nancy Koorapaty – I have 12 years of experience working at Haverhill High School. I am currently an HEA Rep at the High School. I have tried over the last few years to be more active in the HEA and to attend more MTA meetings. At first I wanted to be more active because I thought we were not getting the best deals at bargaining and instead of complaining I figured I could maybe help out. Secondly, I think a strong union is key to keeping excellent people in the profession. TO be strong we all have to pitch in.  

My name is Cyndi O’Shaughnessy and I am the principal clerk at Nettle. I’m in my 8th year as a member of the HEA. First as a member of the ESP unit and now serving as secretary unit representative. Thank you for Choosing me to be a delegate to the 2020 MTA Annual Meeting.

My name is Deb Russell, I am a third grade teacher at Golden Hill School. I am honored to be nominated to represent the HEA as a delegate for the MTA Annual Meeting. I am currently the HEA’s Secretary and have been a building representative for about 4 years prior to becoming Secretary. I would be humbled to represent you as a delegate for the Annual Meeting
