Sue Ames

Term Expires: June 30, 2012

 

Position in District: MSBCLO Para Educator

District Employee Since: 2003

Leadership Roles: Chief Steward, Negotiation Team, Building Rep, Unit Executive Board, Delegate, MSEA Political Committee

Goals: To continue to educate our members on not only the tangible benefits such as wages, insurance, pensions, but also on the strength and power of Unions. To be part of the development of a 5-year plan that would stress communication–knowledge–unity–and fiscal responsibility. The goal of this plan would be to empower all our members to stand up and become a voice in the future of our districts, communities, state and nation. MSEA has 6,000 loud, proud voices that can make a difference.

Personal Strengths: I am a hardworking, organized leader. I have a strong union background which has given me an excellent understanding of unions and how they work "best" for their members.

Comment: Having been a Board member for the last two years, I would like to use the knowledge I've gained to move to the next level of leadership within MSEA. By doing so, I would continue to work at making MSEA a forward thinking organization whose goal is to provide the "best" representation for our members.
