2015 Annual Membership Meeting & Legislative Conference
Welcome & thank you for joining us for this year’s Annual Membership Meeting and Legislative Conference!
This Virtual Folder contains key information for today’s conversations! We also urge you to continue the conversation on social media via our hastag #NJPSALC2015!
YOU can also help drive the conversation forward this year by "Making an ImPACt!" via a contribution to NJPSA’s Political Action Committee (PAC) today! Your donation of $25 or more helps drive NJPSA advocacy efforts AND with pensions and health benefits at risk we need to keep PAC strong.
This year, we are faced with a host of new requirements and challenges – whether talking about PARCC implementation, potential changes to pension and health benefits or other education reforms. NJPSA knows that you, as an education professional are leading on the front lines, fighting for New Jersey students. NJPSA is with you every step of the way.
