MSEA’s First Virtual Convention Is October 16-17
MSEA’S Virtual Representative Assembly
Expect the unexpected at this year’s Representative Assembly where more than 700 delegates from across the state are gathering for our first virtual Representative Assembly on October 16–17. It’s the first time on record that members of Maryland’s education association have not met face-to-face to conduct yearly business.
in MSEA’s first-ever Convention-in-a-Box!
But there’s plenty of action scheduled! Delegates will discuss and consider MSEA’s two-year budget, two statewide ballot initiatives, and more. They’ll also raise funds for the MSEA Fund for Children and Public Education, which supports pro-public education candidates for local and statewide offices.
And they’ll hear from the Maryland Teacher of the Year, Howard County paraeducator and MSEA’s new ESP of the Year Randy Patterson, Brit Kirwan, and President Cheryl Bost.
Very special guests Becky Pringle, the new president of the National Education Association, and Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson will greet delegates and share their focuses for the coming year.
