The week of Feb. 15 was an
outstanding week for the Arizona Mobilize, Organize, Recruit & Engage (M.O.R.E.) project. Sixty NEA-Retired members from other states joined sixty-two AEA-Retired members in two regional meetings conducted in Tucson and Phoenix. (Below, Arizona M.O.R.E. group photo at the Tucson YWCA.)
|
|
|
|
Retirees who taught in other states (Alaska, Maine, Hawaii, Illinois, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin, Virginia and Germany) came to network with their Arizona colleagues and to learn what AEA/AEA-Retired are about. They also came to hear Washington D.C. renowned speaker on Social Security and Medicare, Laura Feldman.
|
|
In Tucson, TEA President Jason Freed, and in Phoenix, AEA President Andrew Morrill outlined the importance of Prop. 123 for public education funding in Arizona. But the real highlight of the four-hour regional meeting was the participants. They networked with one another, engaged each speaker with thoughtful questions and then volunteered to work on behalf of the association to support public education in Arizona. Out of 122 attendees, 89 signed up to lobby, make phone calls, write letters, attend legislative and school board meetings, and work with teachers and students during Read Across America week.
