This year, the MTA is electing three members to seats on the NEA Board of Directors.
Two seats are for three-year terms beginning Sept. 1, 2024, and expiring Aug. 31, 2027, in accordance with the NEA fiscal year. The third seat is to fill an unexpired term, beginning upon election and expiring Aug. 31, 2025.

For the two seats for a full, three-year term, two MTA members presented the requisite nomination papers with member signatures by the deadline and have been declared elected to the NEA Board of Directors. Christine Mulroney, of the Framingham Teachers Association, and Nicole Prevost, of the Quincy Education Association, have been elected as two of the MTA’s NEA Directors, for three-year terms beginning Sept. 1 and ending Aug. 31, 2027.
Nicole Prevost
Quincy Education Association
Per NEA Bylaws and MTA election policy for these seats, if the number of candidates does not exceed the number of seats to be filled, the election is waived, and the candidates declared elected. MTA’s NEA Directors also serve as members of the MTA Board of Directors, as MTA Annual Meeting Delegates and as delegates to the NEA Representative Assembly during their terms.
For the seat to fill the remainder of an unexpired term, two members have been nominated by presenting the requisite papers. Brian Fitzgerald, of the Wareham Education Association, and Kyle Gekopi, of the Wellesley Educators Association, are the candidates. The seat will be filled by direct vote of the active membership in March and April, in tandem with NEA state and regional delegate elections. Ballots will be provided to all MTA/NEA active members who are eligible to vote.
For the contested seat, candidates’ biographical statements and photos also are contained in this digital issue of MTA Today.
