In 2007 I was re-elected as President of our Local. Your confidence in my leadership is greatly appreciated.  I am proud to be the leader of a strong, united Local.  The unity of our Local was never more clearly indicated than in the last state contract (Master Agreement) ratification process.  We were the only local in the Council of New Jersey State College Locals (CNJSCL) to insist that our Local’s votes be counted separately to determine the extent to which membership supported the leadership position.  The results indicated that our Local’s leadership and membership stood strong in its opposition of the Master Agreement.  Unfortunately, the Master Agreement was ratified due to its support by the some of those who voted from the other “sister” locals. 

The continued strength and effectiveness of the leadership of our Local is largely dependent upon the strength and commitment of you, the members.  I strongly urge you to remain (or become) actively involved in the concerns our Local.  We, the leadership, need and appreciate your support.    

Sincerely,

Susanna Tardi
