My name is Thomas Devine, and I am running for a three year term as a director in Hartford County.

I have been a Social Studies/History teacher in West Hartford for 36 years, all but one of those years at William H. Hall H.S.

Since the mid-1980’s I have been active in the WHEA, serving until recently as a building rep. I am currently in my third term as Executive VP. In that position I am also the Grievance Chair.

I have served on three negotiating committees, and I am a member of the CEA Legislative Commission.

This year I am a Vice chair on the CEA Board. I have the experience, the knowledge and the common sense to serve a full three-year term. I have learned from both Tim Zeuschner and from David Dippolino, my WHEA president since I have been an officer.

I believe am well qualified to take my place on the CEA Board, and will do my utmost to serve the teachers of Hartford County. I appreciate your support.

Thank you.
