I have served on several committees

As the President of the AFT Chicago Black Caucus, I have coordinated several educator and community focused forums, instituted the Future Black Educators Scholarship and facilitated topical discussion based on culturally and academically relevant books and movies.
I have the experience and skills needed to represent the interest of all educators who are relying on our defined benefit, a Pension. Since I was appointed to the fund, I have participated in numerous training sessions which have broadened my understanding of the role of a responsible fiduciary. I will be steadfast in promoting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investments. We have worked hard for our money and I will work even harder to protect it.
