CTA Secretary-Treasurer Voted Out in Upset

Mike Antonucci Mar 24, 2009 8:37 AM - Show original item

An unbroken line of succession to higher office is well established in NEA circles. The position of secretary-treasurer is the gateway office to move from the representative elected bodies to the executive ones. Incumbent secretary-treasurers move up to vice president. Incumbent vice presidents move up to president. It works the same way in most state affiliates, and the California Teachers Association has been no exception - until now.

Current CTA President David Sanchez held both the vice president and secretary-treasurer positions, as did his predecessor, Barbara Kerr. Current CTA Vice President Dean Vogel was secretary-treasurer. But Dan Vaughn, elected two years ago as secretary-treasurer when Vogel moved up, was defeated in his bid for reelection by an unlikely candidate, Gail Mendes, former president of the United Teachers of Richmond.

Mendes is a member of the union’s State Council, the body that elected her, but did not sit on the board of directors, making her jump to an executive position quite remarkable. I’m checking into what was behind the upset victory since, as usual, there is very little to distinguish the candidates on issues.

The CTA State Council also voted to support all six budget-related initiatives on the May 19 special election ballot, even though the California Nurses Association opposes all six, and the California Federation of Teachers opposes all but one.
