Dean E. Vogel, a Vacaville elementary school counselor, has been elected secretary-treasurer of CTA. He joins CTA President-elect Barbara E. Kerr and Vice President-elect David A. Sanchez on the new team of leaders that will take office June 26.

 

Vogel was elected at the March meeting of CTA's State Council of Education, the association's governing body, which is made up of 788 elected representatives from across the state. Kerr and Sanchez, both of whom were running unopposed, were elected in February.

 

A member of the Vacaville Teachers Association, Vogel has represented educators in Yolo, Solano, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte counties on CTA's Board of Directors for the last seven years. He was engaged in a three-way race for the office of secretary-treasurer with two other members of the Board, Donnell Jordan, a member of the Desert Sands Teachers Association, and Tom Conry, a member of the Vista Teachers Association.

 

Kerr, a member of the Riverside County Teachers Association, is serving her second term as CTA vice president. Sanchez, a member of the Santa Maria Elementary Education Association, is serving his second term as CTA secretary-treasurer.
