MSTA Board of Directors
Each MSTA region or district elects members to represent its area of the state. The number of members in each region determines the number of board representatives. The Board of Directors, which guides the work of the association, is made up of at least one classroom teacher from each region.
State committees
MSTA has five committees at the state level: Education Policy; Articles, Bylaws and Rules; Communication Awards; Reading Circle; Retired Members; and Student Members. Most committees are made up of at least one representative from each MSTA region.
Assembly of Delegates
More than 1,000 members determine MSTA’s legislative agenda at the association’s annual meeting. Delegates are elected by local CTAs.
Regions
The state is divided into 10 MSTA regions. Officers and committee members from each region help shape MSTA policy, host legislative events and offer professional development opportunities for members through regional meetings.
Local CTAs
Community Teacher Associations provide a unified voice for the MSTA members who work in a particular school district. Most CTAs have salary, legislative, public relations and professional development committees to represent their specific needs.
Leader training
The MSTA Leadership Conference, held each Summer in Columbia, provides the resources and training that help foster successful CTAs.
