NYSUT RA Delegates:

As many of you know, we are facing a contested election of the current NYSUT officers and many of the ED and At-Large positions within NYSUT’s leadership structure.  Not only is the election of the Stronger Together slate of Dick, Maria, Lee, and Kathleen critical, it is equally important to insure that the voice of Stronger Together, OUR VOICE, is heard at all future Board of Directors’ meetings moving forward.

By electing Beth Dimino to the position of At-Large Director, we have the ability to maintain the VOICE of Stronger Together Movement and Caucus.  The local presidents of Suffolk County overwhelmingly support Beth in her efforts to be elected to the position of At-Large Director of ED 21, 22, 23.

Anyone who knows Beth for even a minute recognizes her commitment to the union movement and the children we educate everyday.  Beth has been an outspoken critic of elected officials and NYSUT officers, when necessary, regarding issues such as Common Core, APPR, High-Stakes Testing and consequences, Tax Cap, GEA, Tier V, VI, and charter schools.  She is the “Voice of Mommies” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VhNor95OnI) all across New York State and is willing to take on our elected officials when it comes to the issues impacting our members and devastating our communities and schools.

Voting for Beth Dimino and the Stronger Together slate ensures that our statewide voices will be represented at every NYSUT Board of Directors’ meeting.
