Association Representatives learning how to advocate for you.

Association Representatives and Officers met with UniServ coordinator Reba Luttrell today at the Blount County Public Library for training.  We all learned more about our association, including plans for membership activities like the upcoming New Teacher Social, advocacy ideas, and current local concerns.
