WEAC president reflects on his tenure
After six years as WEAC president, Stan Johnson will leave his post on July 31 knowing he has done his best to fight for what is right and fair for its members. "It was worth every minute of it," he said.
Johnson, the first WEAC president to serve at the same time as a two-term Democratic governor, has steadfastly led the organization's 98,000 members through the increasingly complex issues facing public education. He has come a long way since, as a 28-year-old teacher, he made up his mind to one day become president of WEAC. http://www.weac.org

Take time to Cyberlobby
Let your legislators know that you support the pro-public education Senate version of the state budget as opposed to the Assembly version. As the state budget versions are sent to Conference Committee, it is important that your state representatives in Madison know how important it is to safeguard investments in public education. http://www.weacm.org
