EVERYDAY HERO NOMINATIONS.

Is there an OSEA member who inspires you by making a difference in their school, workplace or community? Help them get the praise and attention they deserve by nominating them for AFT’s 2012 Everyday Heroes contest.

Nominate your hero by Thanksgiving Day and you could win $250. Five semifinalists will be selected from each of AFT’s six divisions. Members will then vote online for their favorite hero, and the six finalists will be honored at the 2012 AFT National Convention in Detroit, Mich.

In the last contest, OSEA’s own OBie Murphy of Oregon Trail Chapter 80 was an Everyday Hero semifinalist in the paraprofessionals and school-related personnel division.

Recognizing our unsung heroes helps OSEA and AFT combat the negative stereotypes and myths about public employees and union workers.  Go to www.aft.org/everydayheroes and say “thanks” to one of our outstanding members.
