More than 450 teachers from across Alberta will gather in Calgary over the Victoria Day long weekend, May 22–24, for the Alberta Teachers’ Association’s 93rd Annual Representative Assembly (ARA).
Teachers will discuss policy and set the Association’s 2010/11 operating budget (details were featured in the
ATA News, April 20, 2010). During the three-day event, more than 140 resolutions will be debated.
Resolutions were featured in the
Resolutions Bulletin, published in the
ATA News, March 9, 2010, can be viewed online at
www.teachers.ab.ca. Resolutions adopted at ARA constitute the policy of the Association and are published in the
Members’ Handbook.
During Saturday’s opening session, the Association’s Honorary Membership and the Public Education Award will be presented. Honorary membership, the ATA’s highest honour, will be conferred on Julius Buski, former ATA executive secretary, and Earl Hjelter, former ATA associate executive secretary.
The ATA’s Public Education Award, which recognizes people or groups that have demonstrated outstanding support for public education in Alberta, will be presented to David King, former MLA and minister of education, and currently the executive director of the Public School Boards’ Association of Alberta.
