Your CEA Executive Board works hard to advocate on your behalf at the local, state, and even national level. Get to know them!
Katie Nash
President
I am honored, proud and excited to serve as your CEA President. I currently teach Biology at Chandler High School and am a mom to two amazing young women who attend public school in Chandler. I am a product of strong public schools in NY. I have been a union member since I entered teaching in 2003. I wholeheartedly believe that the strength of the union is its members. Together, we are stronger.
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.
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.
Cassandra Skufca
Recording Secretary
I am excited and thankful to be not only a CEA member but also to serve as the CEA Recording Secretary on the Executive Board. Currently, I work at Basha High in the ELA Department. I look forward to working with you all!
Karla Palafox
Treasurer
I am a Spanish teacher at Basha High School, and I have been teaching since 1997. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as your treasurer, and I am looking forward to working with the Executive Board and our members to help our local association grow stronger. Together, we will continue to advocate for our students and our profession.
