Despite an outpouring of TSEU member support and assistance, Jackie Dickerson, TSEU’s candidate for this year’s Employees Retirement System Board of Trustees election, was edged out by Catherine Melvin in the race to fill the empty board seat. Jackie received over 10,000 votes which accounted for almost 30% of the total vote (Melvin received 35% of the vote in the four person race).
TSEU members congratulate Jackie for her hard work throughout the election; as well, recognition goes out to those TSEU members that played an active role in the campaign; from collecting ballots to posting flyers to getting out the vote!
