2024年8月3日 - 2:47AM
The Canadian Teachers' Federation (CTF/FCE) is pleased to announce
that Shelley L. Morse has been elected to the Education
International (EI) Executive Board, North America-Caribbean
regional seat. The election took place at the 10th Education
International World Congress happening now in Buenos Aires,
Argentina.
The Executive Board is comprised of 27 members, who
are responsible for running Education International and
implementing the decisions taken at World Congress. Shelley L.
Morse joins the Executive Board in one of two seats for the North
America-Caribbean Region, following the highly impactful two-term
service of Dianne Woloschuk (also of CTF/FCE).
Shelley has had a successful career in education,
demonstrating a strong commitment to advocacy for quality,
inclusive publicly funded public education and labour rights.
In July 2019, Shelley was acclaimed President of
the CTF/FCE after serving three terms as Vice-President and several
years on the Board of Directors. During her presidency, she became
the first-ever Chair of the EI North America/Caribbean Regional
Committee (2020-2021). She has also chaired several CTF/FCE
Advisory Committees, including those on the Status of Women,
Diversity and Human Rights, Indigenous Education, and the Teaching
Profession.
Shelley has made substantial contributions
nationally and internationally. Her dedication to trade union and
human rights advocacy has taken her to EI World Congresses in
Ottawa (2015) and Bangkok (2019), and she has been a delegate to
the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW) five
times (from 2015 to 2022). Shelley's extensive experience with
CTF/FCE and engagement in EI will be invaluable in strengthening
our global federation, contributing to EI priorities and service to
Members, such as advocacy, campaigns, development cooperation
partnerships, leading-edge research, and embodying the essence of a
federation of teachers’ unions.
