Election News
HCEA would like to thank all those who helped with the recent
election of officers. We truly appreciate those who were willing to
accept the nominations and those who voted. We encourage all of
you to continue to show your support, attend meetings, get involved
and make HCEA the best it can be.
Congratulations to those elected. It was a close count, and our new
officers will be:
President - Gay Raines
Vice President - Mike Kelley

HCEA Constitution
Dear Members,
I hope everyone had a refreshing summer and that this new school year will be a
happy and successful one for you.
This week, elections will be held for all HCEA positions. Congratulations to those
who were nominated. If you were nominated and chose not to run, or if you are
not inclined to serve in that way, please consider helping and encouraging those who
are elected throughout the year.
Education and teachers seem to be under attack. Education, teachers, and
educational support personnel have one advocate on the state or national level-
--TEA/NEA. These are the warriors that fight the battle for tenure, insurance,
accountability, retirement, etc. Without these advocates we would have little
voice, if any. Because TEA/NEA is strong, people listen.
Make a commitment to sign up one new member so we don't have to worry that
HCEA members might not continue to keep the great benefits negotiated for
throughout the years.
I would like to thank all the Association Representatives, those on the Executive
Committee, those who have helped in other ways to distribute information, run
errands, and simply encourage me when things got tough. Thanks to Melinda
Webb, TEA Association UniServe Coordinator for all her help, and thanks to our
members, without whom there would be NO Association, and therefore, no voice
with which to bargain. Special thanks to:
Edwinter Myles - who always made time to encourage and support my efforts.
Gay Raines -(Treasurer/Membership Chair) an outstanding citizen and teacher
who gave 120% to help me and HCEA members in every endeavor at often great
personal sacrifice and most recently helping organize and distribute TEA materials
and election information and ballots.
Ella Lassan - AR/Webmaster - for helping throughout the year to plan,
organize, distribute, encourage, and for her continued enthusiasm in our goals.
Larry Dotson - (my husband) for his encouragement and support
It's been an honor to serve as the Association President. Thank you for your
support.
Hope
Hope M. Dotson
President, HCEA
