20 Reasons to Thank Labor Unions!
"William G. Reilly Profile In Unionism Award"
Recipient Marlayna Pritchard Honored
The 2011 William G. Reilly Profile in Unionism Award was presented at the December 21st Delegate Assembly, held at the Powelton Club in Newburgh, to NTA member Marlayna Pritchard.
NTA President Patricia M. Van Duser said, "It is a great honor to recognize Marlayna Pritchard as this year's Reilly Award recipient. Marlayna has set an example of unionism that we should all strive to achieve."
Seventeen newly-tenured teachers were also recognized for achieving this important milestone in their careers.
The William G. Reilly Profile in Unionism Award was created in 1990 to remember Bill Reilly by recognizing those members each year who have stepped forward on behalf of their union or fellow teachers. Bill Reilly was a true unionist. Bill loved and understood politics. He was named to NYSUTs first Committee of 100 in 1974 (the group of NYSUT leaders who go to Albany each year to lobby on behalf of public education). He was also the NTAs first Sick Leave Chairperson, and from 1978-1988 the President of the Orange County Labor Council. For many years he served as the NTAs chief negotiator at contract time and was responsible for bargaining many of the benefits our members enjoy today.
