Show Your GITA Pride – Apparel Store Now Open!
The GITA Apparel Store is officially open! Show off your GITA pride with some of our new apparel options. We’ve added some fresh styles this year!
Even better, your purchase helps support GITA’s annual scholarship fund! A portion of the proceeds from the apparel store will go toward providing scholarships to graduating seniors.
Order by October 8th to have your items delivered directly to your school. I’ll pick up the orders from Front Row and get them delivered to your building. Orders placed after October 8th will need to be picked up on your own.
GITA Leaders Attend NYSUT's Annual Convention
John Head, Kathy Chadwick, and Mike Grosso attended the Representative Assembly in Albany, NY this weekend. We are always grateful to have GITA represented at these important events. They worked alongside fellow members and educators from across New York State; individuals who show up, stand together, and help make our union strong.
What is the Representative Assembly?
The RA is the union's highest policy-making body, except for a membership referendum. All NYSUT members are welcome to attend the annual Representative Assembly, but only duly elected and reported delegates may debate and vote on proposed amendments to the Constitution and Bylaws, proposed resolutions and other business that might be brought before the Representative Assembly according to NYSUT Constitution and Bylaws provisions or policy.
