Debra Sheehan, Vice President
Debra comes to her new office after serving two terms as CTA/NEA-Retired’s Secretary-Treasurer and thirty-five years of classroom experience culminating in her retirement from the Capistrano Unified School District in 2016. Her years of union activity included nearly 20 years as a Site Rep, the NEA Resolutions Committee, representing educators at NEA Representative Assemblies, Co-PAC Captain, Grievance Team, Strike Captain, and CTA Women’s Caucus Secretary.
In retirement she continued her advocacy as the Retired Coordinator of the NEA Women’s Caucus and the CTA/NEA-Retired Liaison to Central Coast Counties working with them to revitalize as a functioning local retired chapter after the pandemic. They were so appreciative of her support that last year they honored her with the coveted We Honor Ours (WHO) Award.
