FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Connie Bancroft


First of all, I want to publicly accept the position of Executive Director for another year. I want to thank the Board of Trustees for their continued confidence in me in leading this organization. I am thankful to God for allowing me this opportunity to serve Him and to be involved in saving the lives of the unborn, His creation and masterpiece.

I want to thank each Board member for their support and wisdom as decisions and strategies are made throughout the year. I am also thankful for the support of each member. We are all very busy with our careers, families, and personal lives, but yet even the notes and words of encouragement and your prayers are very much appreciated.

The need for an organization such as Teachers Saving Children® is vital in today's society. Many of you have asked how you as members can get involved in TSC. At this time our activities are minimal. However, your biggest involvement can be in spreading the word about TSC. We are growing and we can make a difference. But we need everyone who agrees with our purpose to join with us and help us fight for the lives of the unborn.

Let's continue to work together to save both the lives of the unborn and America's schools.

TSC PUBLIC RELATIONS

We continually need your help in getting information about TSC out to as many people as possible. We continue to work with other pro-life organizations in a variety of ways. We would like to be able to include our literature at Right to Life county fair booths again this summer. If you have contacts with local Right to Life Chapters or other pro-life organizations and want to help out in this way, please contact TSC for more details.

An updated brochure should be ready by June. If you have any other ideas as to how we can inform people about TSC, please let us know.

GET INVOLVED BY VOTING FOR YOUR NEA DELEGATE

All policies of the NEA are adopted by the delegates to the annual Representative Assembly. These delegates are selected by their colleagues in the local and state affiliates to represent their views in the deliberation of the assembly. However, the policies adopted do not represent the majority of the teaching profession. We all can get involved by voting for those who represent our philosophy. This year's NEA RA will be July 1 - 6 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

For local delegates election information, contact your local president. At-large state delegates are elected by the membership representing the various OEA units. Ballots plus biographical information of each candidate for at-large elections will be sent to the locals in February. Ballots are due back to the OEA office by March 15, 1993. If you do not receive a biography of the candidates and/or a ballot, please contact your local president.

Results of the at-large delegate elections will be reported to all local association presidents within three weeks of the election deadline with a notation that the results be posted in each building of the local. Be sure these results are posted in your building and then make a personal contact with your representative(s), letting them know your philosophy on various issues.

Get involved by educating yourself about the candidates and vote!
