About Our Elections

Our elections ensure the MTA remains member-led, with leaders chosen by and accountable to the educators they represent.

Board of Directors

The MTA Board of Directors is responsible for the general policies and interests of the MTA, is subject to policies established by the Annual Meeting of Delegates and derives its authority from the MTA Bylaws.

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is responsible for the general policies and interests of the MTA. Committee members are subject to policies established by the Annual Meeting of Delegates and derive their authority from the MTA Bylaws.

Dues Allocation Chart

It takes a lot of money and muscle to provide the basic services required by members. MTA dues offer members a strong team of experienced negotiators at the bargaining table, expert legal assistance, a skilled lobbying force, a trained staff, accomplished public relations practitioners and many additional programs that make it possible for the MTA and its more than 117,000 members to function as the strongest public employee union in the Commonwealth.

NEA Directors

Detailed information on the composition, election, terms, meetings and powers and duties of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee may be found in the MTA Bylaws and the MTA Policy Book.

MTA President Max Page
Public education, one of our nation’s greatest commitments, was invented here in Massachusetts. This is our heritage, and whose tradition you all carry forward. We were the first, and remain the finest, despite all that is challenging you and schools and colleges today. We will not give up the freedom to learn and the freedom to teach.
Quote by: Max Page, President

Bargaining Strength

Bargaining is the powerful tool we use to demand fair wages and benefits and create the workplaces we deserve. Members within each local define the priorities they want to achieve through bargaining, and the grievance process gives us the ability to enforce our workplace rights.
