NEWS RELEASE
COLORADO EDUCATION ASSOCIATION
*************************
DENVER - Colorado Education Association (CEA) President Amie Baca-Oehlert was re-elected on Saturday, Apr. 17 at the CEA’s 95th Annual (and second virtual) Delegate Assembly.

During the opening night of the Delegate Assembly, Baca-Oehlert was chosen to lead CEA as president for a second and final three-year term.

“It has been such an honor to represent my fellow 39,000 educators across Colorado for the past three years,” Baca-Oehlert said. “In the last three years, we've accomplished so much for educators and students across Colorado, but as we move forward leading the way in supporting teaching and learning beyond COVID-19, addressing racial and social inequities that exist within Colorado's public schools, and stemming an unprecedented educator shortage, there is much work ahead of us. 

“Our students and fellow educators deserve better and we will not stop until our collective voices, the voices of those who do the critical job of educating Colorado' students day in and day out, are heard.” 

Baca-Oehlert, a high school counselor from Adams 12 Five Star Schools, was first elected to CEA office as vice president from 2012 through 2018 and president since 2018. She will begin her new term in July. 

CEA Vice President Kevin Vick, a high school social studies teacher out of Colorado Springs School District 11, was also re-elected by the delegates to his second term. 

Delegate Assembly is CEA’s top policy-making body, composed of several hundred members across the state who are elected by their fellow members.
