2009 Convention &
Representative Assembly
October 15-17, in Ocean City!
It’s a full-on two-day celebration of the best of your professional association. You’ll find trainings and workshops, health information, exhibits, entertainment and more to fill your weekend. If you’re a delegate representing your Local Association, add to your schedule special guests and events, caucuses, debates and votes during the annual Representative Assembly (RA) meetings.
“I invite every member to come to Ocean City to celebrate not only our name change, but also attend the workshops and activities we have carefully planned,” said MSTA President Clara Floyd. “I hope to see every delegate elected by their Local Association—it’s an honor to work on important RA business with you and further our mission of providing great public schools.”
