BGM

BGM is happening over the Easter break. It's a wonderful opportunity to meet and talk with teachers from all around the province.  We will discuss issues which are  important to us as teachers and by extension to the education of our children.   As a candidate for Provincial Executive, I am especially looking forward to talking with other teachers and getting their input on things which matter to them. 

The Provincial Executive Council is the political arm of the NLTA.  It oversees the activities of the association and makes decisisons which affect us all.  I feel that the election of the Executive is the most important piece of business we have before us at BGM.  Having served one term on Executive, I learned quite a lot and am eager to once again serve the teachers of Newfoundland and Labrador. 

While the focus of the Executive is province-wide, having an Executive Member from  Labrador brings another perspective to discussions at the Executive table.  It also  provides teachers in the "Big Land" with the opportunity to serve on a standing committee, a rarity in our neck of the woods.    I hope the teacher-delegates at BGM find me deserving of their confidence and their vote.
