Each MSTA region or district
elects members to represent its area of the state. The number of members in
each region determines the number of board representatives. The Board of
Directors, which guides the work of the association, is made up of at least one
classroom teacher from each region.
MSTA has eight standing committees at the state level: Legislation; Constitution, Bylaws and Rules; Resolutions; Membership Services; Legal/Teacher Welfare; Public Relations, Teacher Education and Professional Standards; and Bunker Hill Educational. Each committee is made up of at least one representative from each MSTA region.
More than 1,100 members determine MSTA's legislative agenda at the association's annual meeting. Delegates are elected by local CTAs.
The state is divided into 12 MSTA regions. Officers and committee members from each region help shape MSTA policy, host legislative events and offer professional development opportunities for members through regional meetings. Funding for CTA and district programs is partially provided through MSTA rebates.
Community Teacher Associations provide a unified voice for the MSTA members who work in a particular school district. Most CTAs have salary, legislative, public relations and professional development committees to represent their specific needs.
The MSTA Leadership Conference, held each August at Bunker Hill, provides the resources and training that help foster successful CTAs. In addition, a monthly newsletter, MSTA Connect, supplies leaders with the information and tools they need.
