Thomas Hopkins

I am applying for the District 26 Human Rights Officer position. I have been the Human Rights Officer since the conception of the new position last year. I have developed and executed many plans for the EARAO committee and been chair of the last 2 EARAO meetings this past year. I have developed a repoire with my colleagues and was able to get more delegates to attend the Human Rights Conference as representatives for District 26. As well, I have been able to work with delegates who attended the first EARAO conference in the fall of 2023.

 

I am dedicated to helping teachers to having their voices heard and stop the abuses that occur at the local level. I am striving to ensure that we have a stronger educational voice in the coming years and that everyone is represented at the table.

 

I have gained the confidence and respect of my fellow colleagues and they know that I will be there to represent them in times of hardship or need a new approach in dealing with injustices in the board or at individual schools.

 

Thank you for trusting me with this important voice on the District 26 Executive!
