Executive Committee

There are 28 elected members on the AFT Connecticut Executive Committee, including the three lead officers who oversee the state federation’s day-to-day activities and finances. Together they make decisions implementing policy and goals set at quarterly Delegate Assembly meetings and the annual convention. The committee gathers monthly to ensure the state federation and affiliated local unions are fulfilling AFT Connecticut’s mission.

The current members of the Executive Committee were elected in May, 2023 by delegates to the 76th annual business convention for two year terms effective July 1. At the event, a constitutional amendment establishing an additional at-large vice president was also adopted and that position was filled at the Executive Committee’s September 7, 2023 meeting
