Convention thank you

I know I’m a little late, but I want to thank the delegates to the AFT Connecticut Convention and the members they represent for their support.
It is very inspiring to serve as your Vice President.
Congratulations to David Hayes on his election as Secretary/Treasurer and thank you to Ed Leavy for serving in this roll as he now transitions to Divisional Vice President of Public Employees.
Congratulations to the rest of our Executive Committee and welcome to our new members, Joshua Hall, Heather Howlett, and Krista Vermeal.
Thank you also to Jean Morningstar and Erin Benham for your years of dedicated service.

Last, but certainly not least, congratulations to our President, Jan Hochadel.
Under your leadership we have embraced the organizing model of unionism, based on member engagement and empowerment.
Thank you for your leadership, your friendship and your patience.

We have much work ahead of us.
But the 30,000 members of AFT Connecticut are ready.
