Retired Member Elections

At the 2023 MSEA Representative Assembly, a Bylaw amendment passed that permits a retired member representative to serve as an observer on the MSEA Board of Directors.  This position is elected annually and may serve up to three (3) one-year terms that commence on September 1 of each year.  This official observer position is permitted to be recognized to speak at general meetings of the MSEA Board of Directors.

Candidates should note the following information and schedule for meetings.  The MSEA Board typically meets 10 times a year.  Most meetings are held at MSEA HQ in Annapolis.  Most meetings begin at 5:30 p.m. on Friday and at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday.  There are usually 3 daytime weekday meetings.  Most meetings are held in-person, but some may be held virtually.  For in-person meetings, virtual options may not be provided.  The retired observer is not an automatic delegate to the MSEA or NEA representative assemblies. The Retired Observer will be invited to attend and provide a report at meetings of the Retired Advisory Council, which meets at least 4 times a year, typically during a weekday. 

Voting for the retired observer to the MSEA Board closed at 5:00pm on June 26. Election results can be viewed below.
