Strong women LEAD, proud union staff of the mighty Michigan Education Association. Congrats MADAM president!
“Power metrics: Under Herbart's leadership, MEA represents about 120,000 student, active and retired members and supports 1,100 MEA Locals and 550 school districts, including higher education. "I work with Michigan Department of Education, the governor's office and legislators to make sure they understand the needs of our students and members."
Biggest win: Working to get a $17 billion bipartisan school education budget passed that, for the first time, will provide equal funding for every student in the state. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed the landmark education bill in July 2021. "The MEA had a voice. We leveraged our relationships and partnerships with them so they could hear our cries. I couldn't be prouder of that."
