Welcome!

Your local executive committee – elected officers and appointed committee chairs and faculty reps – 

continue to meet during the summer and have monthly meetings scheduled during the school year.  

Please let an executive committee member know if you have concerns needing our attention or are 

interested in attending a meeting.  


The executive committee members for the 2016-17 school year are: 

Ann Garry – President                               Jim Anderson – Member Rights Chair 

Derek Anderson – Vice President             Adam Beyer – Insurance Chair 

Julie Brown – Secretary                            Paula Tansom – Membership Chair

John Arlandson – Treasurer/Negotiations Chair 

Each building in the district also has a faculty representative on the executive committee.

Laura Brandt – Wildwood

Dennis Dobson - Middle School

Katie Nestrud – OHA 

Janine Nelson – MHS

An Education Minnesota Field Staff Representative is also assigned to our local.  Kevin Nielsen is the 

field staff rep.  Contact information for each of us is available on this website under the Executive Board tab.


As an ongoing reminder:  it is your responsibility to know our contract.  Faculty reps and executive 

committee members are available to guide you through areas of the contract when you have 

questions, but it is your job to know its content.  It is posted on this website under the Documents tab,            

so it is always available to you.


Each year presents a unique set of challenges for us each of us.  As a member of the Mahtomedi 

Education Association, you have a wide range of professional support and training opportunities.  If 

you are curious or interested in investigating these opportunities, speak with a member of the 

executive committee or visit www.educationminnesota.org.
