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).

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.
