Retired Observer on the MSEA Board of Directors
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.
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 began at 9:00 a.m. on June 12. The voting window closed at 5:00 p.m. on June 26. See below for election results.
