MTA Statewide Retired District delegates to the 2021 MTA Annual Meeting will be elected in conjunction with the NEA RA retired delegate elections.
The nomination period for Statewide Retired District delegates is now in process and will close at 5 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 8. Nominations are open to all eligible MTA/NEA retired members through a self-nomination process.
Nominees are encouraged to use the self-nomination form available online at massteacher.org/nomform. The form may be submitted electronically.
Alternatively, a paper form can be found on Page 16 in the print edition of this issue of MTA Today.
The election period will run from Feb. 1 through March 12. Online voting instructions for statewide retired delegates will be sent to retired MTA/NEA members. Those who prefer to vote by paper ballot may request one, per the instructions provided.
The MTA funds reimbursement of up to $450 for eligible expenses incurred by each Statewide Retired District delegate to the Annual Meeting.
The 2021 allocation of Statewide Retired District delegates will be based on the number of MTA/NEA retired members from the Statewide Retired District on record no later than Jan. 15. Terms will last one year.
