Q&A Guide:
"A guide to answering questions potential members may have
regarding their professional association"
ASSOCIATION REPRESENTATIVES
Building
Representatives are a vital part of the Association. Each
Building in the school district has one or more Building
Representatives. Building Representatives are teachers that
are elected by their fellow teachers. They serve three
important roles.
Communication
Representatives communicate with the teachers in their
building via email, faculty meetings and informal
conversations. They also meet regularly with officers. This
ensures that information flows smoothly between members and
officers.
Advising
Representatives advise members in their buildings in
professional matters. They provide information on ethics and
professionalism, as well as information about the contract.
Reps also advise members who have questions about
certification, retirement, and benefits.
Representation
Building Representatives meet monthly as the Representative
Council. Along with the officers, the Representative Council
serves as the policy-making board for the Association. They
help guide and direct the Association, approve the annual
budget, and decide issues of importance to members.
