Please send agenda items to TEA President John Phillips or Secretary Hillary Schafer.
2. TEA Officer Elections
The TEA Annual Meeting was on October 15, 2014. TEA members voted for 3 Board positions — President, Vice President and Secretary.
The TEA Board will be asking the Council of Representatives to make recommendations for changes to the Ballot directions. The Board also encourages every voting member to follow the ballot directions closely, so that their vote may be identifiable and counted.

Wastewater has bargaining meetings with the Office of Labor Relations on December 16 and 18.

Council of Representatives Chair Don Marable, with the assistance of former Council of Representatives Chair Alton Gaskill, will be forwarding several initiatives through the TEA Council of Representatives. Don and Alton are asking the Representatives for ideas for 2015, with some ideas including membership survey, training, Representative recruitment, and new employee on-boarding, to name a few. Your ideas and participation are important.
