Your CEA Executive Board works hard to advocate on your behalf at the local, state, and even national level. Get to know them!
Laurel Miller
President
Welcome to the Chandler Education Association website! I’ve been a K-8 educator for 23 years, 16 of them at Chandler Unified School District elementary schools. For the 2023-2024 school year I will be a district substitute teacher and your president. Through our shared values of collective bargaining, dignity within the profession, fair working conditions, and respect we will powerfully strengthen our education community. If you’re not already a member of the union, please reach out. Exercise the freedom you have to join.
Diane Lundahl
Vice President of
Association Representatives
I have been teaching at Hamilton High School, in the World Language Department, since it opened in 1998. Teaching AP Spanish Language and Culture as well as AP Spanish Literature and Culture are my absolute joy. All three of my children graduated from Hamilton and I currently have a nephew attending as my newest Husky. Throughout the years I have taken much pride in being able to advocate for my students and my education peers at the site, district, and state level. I am a proud Executive Board Member of CEA and believe in using our voices to create the district and state we want to teach in.
Carly Mahlmeister
Vice President of
Committees
I am excited to be a part of the executive board as the VP of Committees. I am a behavior interventionist at Bologna Elementary. I am proud to have my two boys attend public school in Chandler. CEA has played a huge part in my growth as a professional. Micro-credentials, books studies, and training series are a few ways CEA supports educators. We ARE stronger learning together!
Monika Beauvais Landi
Vice President of
Membership
I am the general music teacher at Fulton Elementary. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as the Vice President of Membership. I believe that there is strength in our collective voice. I will continue supporting CEA’s growth by ensuring members and potential members feel supported, heard, and valued. Together, we must continue to advocate for positive change in our profession and for our students.
Benjamin Bozovich
Vice President of
Political Action
I am excited to be a part of the Executive Board as the Vice President of Political Action. I am the Drama/Technical Theatre at ACP High School. I have a cat and he’s pretty cool. Being a teacher has been a lifelong goal of mine and I’m thrilled to be a part of this union. I feel we are stronger together and I look forward to seeing where we will go!
Caroline Hall
Corresponding Secretary
I am currently teaching Environmental Science at Perry High School, although I have taught all the way down to the first grade. I believe that working in education is truly one of the most meaningful ways we can improve the world we live in. Supporting that ideal is one of the reasons I joined CEA. Too often, education has not been made a priority in Arizona and I know that we are stronger when we stand together. I appreciate the opportunity to serve and look forward to standing with you.
Jennifer Hudson
Recording Secretary
Welcome to CEA! I’m excited to bring my more than 25 years of teaching experience to CUSD. I’ve taught EL students everywhere from North Carolina to Japan. Currently, I’m teaching Culinary 1 at ACP High School. I love supporting teachers and working together to bargain for better salaries and working conditions.
Alex Wood
Treasurer
I am currently teaching middle school and high school French at Basha High School. I teach because I believe that everyone deserves equal access to education. I am a CEA member because I believe that our voice as educators has worth and that positive change can happen when we speak up and act together. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute, as your CEA treasurer.
