This year, through leadership roles within CEA, I have learned a lot about the power of our union. We must continue to advocate for positive change in our profession and for our students. My hope is that by attending the delegate assembly, I can be a part of guiding that change. Thank you for your consideration in representing CEA at the AEA Delegate Assembly.

I would love to have the opportunity to represent our association at the state level. It is important that as a CEA member, we use our voice to make the change we want to see in not only our district, but in the state. We need to stay educated on policies being voted on annually as well as what positions need to be filled and the candidates being elected.

Frye Elementary School

Hello, my name is Erica Rutledge and I am a Pre-Kindergarten teacher at Frye Elementary in the Chandler Unified School District. I have been a teacher for almost twenty years, the last six of which were in Arizona. In my teaching career I have been a Grade Level Chair, mentored teachers, been advisor to many student groups and been active in the union. I have been on the side of teaching where it seems there was no hope for fairness or the future. I have also been on the side that lifted my voice to move toward hope. I am currently rallying the Early Childhood educators to hopefully resolve the separate and unequal attitude there is for PK. I want to exist in a world where educators are prized for their expertise, supported so they can effectively teach and valued for our commitment and our hearts for teaching. Please consider me as a delegate and representative for you. Thank you.
