SBTA Welcomes New Executive
Director
|
|
|
Peg Tracey is SBTA's second and newest Executive
Director. She will be working in partnership with long-time Executive
Director Conrad Ohlson with both SBTA and the San Bernardino Valley
Community College.
Peg comes to SBTA from her recent assignment as Executive Director of Fremont Unified District Teachers Association in the east San Francisco Bay area. Peg is a twenty-three year veteran of professional staff work on behalf of NEA in three states, including Texas and Georgia. She was Executive Director for Garden Grove Education Association in Orange County for seven years |
 |
| before moving to Fremont. An experienced trainer, Peg serves as a member of two NEA training teams; Building Family, School, Community Partnerships and MegaSkills. She is a certified facilitator for the NEA initiative on KEYS - Keys to Excellence in Your Schools, and conducts informational workshops for site staffs and stakeholders on using the KEYS instrument. She also works with the CTA Minority Community Outreach Workgroup, and most recently resigned her position as union representative within the California Staff Organization, the union that represents all the CTA professional staff. No stranger to organizational development, Peg said, "SBTA and the San Bernardino Community College both have reputations of being good, solid organizations with quality leaders. When I read SBTA and SBVCCA's description of what they were seeking in a second Executive Director, I was excited. It touched on every aspect of what I believe Associations need to be involved in with the onset of the age of accountability. I have wanted to be a part of helping teachers help students succeed in school ever since the national standards movement began in this country in the mid '90s. I hope I can contribute to the success of San Bernardino's teachers and students through my commitment to and work with SBTA and the Community College." "I plan to visit schools and SBTA Building Reps and members," Peg continued. "I want to see the schools and the educational work our membership does every day and the audience with whom they work. I hope to contribute to SBTA's work with teachers, community members and organizations in building the solid, supportive partnerships which are so needed for the success of children and San Bernardino Schools." |
