Candidate Recommendation Committee
Nominations are now open for the election of members to the MTA Candidate Recommendation Committee. The committee is responsible for making recommendations to members to support candidates for state and federal office.
Elections will be held to fill one seat in each of the following Congressional Districts: 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
Terms on the committee last for three years. The committee member must live in the congressional district to be represented. Any MTA member interested in running for the CRC should obtain the nomination form online at massteacher.org/nomform or contact Jim Carvalho in the MTA Division of Governance and Administration. He can be reached by calling 617-878-8305 or by emailing [email protected].
The nomination form and a biographical statement of not more than 100 words must be received by Dec. 30.
Those eligible to vote for CRC members are delegates to the past year's MTA Annual Meeting of Delegates who live in the specified congressional district.
Upon request, candidates will be provided with a list of Annual Meeting delegates for the congressional district, along with names and addresses. If the number of candidates is equal to or less than the number of positions to be filled, elections may be waived and the candidates declared elected to the positions in question.
Ballots including the candidates' biographical statements will be sent to the electorate on Feb. 5, 2027. They must be returned no later than Feb. 26, 2027.
The CRC terms begin on March 15, 2027. Members are eligible to be elected for two consecutive three-year terms.
