Hello WEAC Region 3 Local Presidents and Vice Presidents,
I’m Jackie Baumann and have been serving as the WEAC Region 3 Vice President for the past year and a half and prior to that was Vice President B of the region for several years. As you may have seen in WEAC news recently, Nathan Ugoretz has been elected as the WEAC Secretary/Treasurer. We are very excited for Nathan and the passion he will bring to his new position. Because of this change for Nathan, he had to resign from the WEAC Region 3 President position. I am prepared and excited to take on the role of the WEAC Region 3 President effective immediately.
I am a 27 year veteran educator in the Pulaski Community School District teaching kindergarten for the past 21 years. I have also held the role Pulaski EA President for the past 10 years and have been active in the union for the majority of my teaching career. I am confident that the work I have done at the local level and at the Region 3 level will help in this new role. I have worked closely with Nathan and the Region 3 directors and know that this transition will be seamless. I look forward to continuing to strengthen our union through membership growth and the work we are doing to build leaders and to engage our members in organizing efforts throughout the region.
If at any time I can be of assistance to you, please reach out to me. My home email address is jr3abaumann@gmail.com. I will always respond within 24 hours. If there is an urgent need, please call the Region 3 office.
Thank you.
Jackie Baumann
WEAC Region 3 President
