President Sue Messinger: Reset and Recharge

As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter, it’s definitely that time of year for a reset! We all know the value of recharging after a busy school year, and I truly hope you enjoy your time with family and friends, whether you are staying at home or travelling during summer break.

Even with the promise of relaxation on the horizon, we also know that summer for us as educators doesn’t necessarily signal completely switching off. Summer is an opportunity to regroup for sure, but it’s also a time to think about how we improve our own skills, how we can strengthen our membership, and how we can further build our local leadership.

NEOEA’s Summer Leadership Conference is the perfect way to achieve all that and more! It is a fantastic opportunity for professional development opportunities geared to what you need and want for yourself, while exploring new ideas and collaborating with colleagues from across the region to set the stage for a successful year ahead.

I’ve learned a ton over the years from all that’s offered at Summer Leadership. From sessions on current legal updates, educator rights, leadership practices, building rep training, contractual topics, and the Treasurer’s workshop, there’s something for everyone.

Before getting too far ahead, however, I truly hope you have an awesome summer break! In the meantime, know that NEOEA consistently works hard to support you in a multitude of ways. I look forward to seeing you all at Summer Leadership in July!
