Meet the Volunteers
ATPE is proud to be member-owned and member-governed. ATPE members
from across the state volunteer to serve on committees that determine the direction
of the organization. This helps ATPE stay focused on our mission.
The Nominations and Elections Committee is one of these vital standing
committees. Do you recognize any of your ATPE colleagues in the picture above?
These dedicated volunteers convened in Austin in October 2014. They proposed
the 2015 election rules to the ATPE Board of Directors and are soliciting qualifed
candidates to run for ATPE state offce. But the committee's work does not end
there. Committee members will also oversee the integrity and fairness of the
election process when the ATPE House of Delegates convenes in Austin this July.
Every delegate will cast a ballot in that election for his or her candidate of choice.
There are many benefts to being an active ATPE member, but the ultimate
reward is to roll up your sleeves at the leadership level and take charge of your
organization's future.
If you are interested in becoming an ATPE volunteer, contact Kelli Johnson, our
volunteer program coordinator, at kjohnson@atpe.org for more information.
