Elections for IPACE and IEA Executive Committee

I am extremely proud to announce that Gina Lozano and myself have been re-elected to the IEA Executive Committee. I am so proud to be in an organization who values education support professionals and their contributions to the betterment of public education and our members.

Thank you to all who attended last nights rESPect steering meeting

Click image to visit the IEA rESPect website

Un oh…technical difficulties.

We started with a few hiccups with technology, but ended with a great meeting full of collaboration and awesome ideas shared by many! Each rESPect team (Legislative, Model Contract Language, Communications, and Organizing and Leadership Development), worked in breakout rooms to accomplish the goals of their team. It is the members and IEA staff that come together and share their voice and talents that will build this into the powerful campaign needed to bring the changes that will benefit the lives of education support professionals in Illinois.

You’re invited to attend our next meeting on February 8th
