As the new Chair of EMAC I would like to ASK that ALL of our local, state, and National presidents and members to come together as a TEAM and make Masschusetts Teachers Assocaition a huge success in bringing in more members to our Annual Conference, NEA Representative Assembely, MTA Summer Conference, and the EMAC conference each year there is organizing, recruiting, member involvment, voting that is needed from all of our members and we need to come together as a TEAM to increase our participant count. MTA has 110,000 members but our turn out to these conferences are low at times. So come one come all and lets build our numbers to a higher standard....

At the Ethnic Minority Affairs Conference happening now, MTA Pres Paul Toner invites participants to get involved! massteacher.org/memberservices….

Parent/community partnerships are key, NEA Ex Comm member Princess Moss tells #EMAC2012. These are folks who care & want to help schools.

Moss shares her own story as a way to inspire others to get involved. #EMAC2012

Moss: Be kind to others, be an active listener, volunteer (don't assume others will do it), find a mentor & mentor others. #EMAC2012

Moss: Prepare yourself now. Start building your skills & get involved with your association. Be ready for windows of opportunity. #EMAC2012.
