NCAEOP Fellow Builders: Fall is one of my favorite of the four seasons. It’s the time where our weather gets mild and our surroundings transforms into beautiful, vibrant colors as the leaves change. What excites me most is that it is the beginning of our district meetings. Our state district presidents are committed to helping each of you build yourself professionally, by having incredible workshops and presenters at their fall meetings. NCAEOP state officer have been assigned to attend designated meetings and we are looking forward to Building Blocks to Professionalism with you. Remember: our state officers are here to assist and serve! Lavern Manzano, CEOE President Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools 750 S.

I was honored to carry the North Carolina flag during the flag ceremony, which was written and directed by our very own, Charlie Mae Mace. What a beautiful and moving experience to see all the state flags, it is a sight to behold. If you have never attended an NAEOP conference, plan now to attend the 2015 conference next July, which will be held in Buffalo, NY.

With the start of another school year, it also announces the beginning of fall district meetings. I am looking forward to attending several meeting across the state. Seeing the unique ways members are using President Manzano’s theme “Building Blocks to Professionalism.” These fall meetings give me an opportunity to meet each of you. It also allows me to rekindle old friendships, but most of all starting new life-long friendships. I would like to thank all of our district Vice Presidents for all of their help to increase membership state wide. Summer time is a slow time, but as the year moves on I know that the numbers will increase. As of August 4, 2014 we have 372 Active members, 38 Associate members, and 176 Retired members. This gives us 586 members. If you have any ideas or suggestions on ways to increase membership, please do not hesitate to share them with me. In accord with Philemon 1:25 “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.” Have a jubilant new school year. I think this is definitely the busiest time of the school year as we get back into the swing of a new school year, local meetings, planning district meetings, sponsored PSP workshops, and fundraising projects. Even with all of this going on I encourage you to recruit new members and encourage you to consider a leadership position in NCAEOP.

Joyce B Smith, Historian Check with your District President on how to obtain this years President Pin ($4) and Tote Bag ($10). North Carolina lawmakers included in their 2014 budget a $1,000 raise for most state employees, but non-teaching public school workers, teacher assistants, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, custodians and other non-certified and central office staff will only see a $500 salary increase. Teacher pay raises will range from less than 1 percent to more than 18 percent, depending on how long a teacher has been in the classroom. Continue to write our legislators, voice our concerns.
