As part of the Governance Structure of the California Teachers Association, we have a State Council similar to how LEA has their Rep Council. Because of the size of the Council (about 700 reps state-wide), we meet four times a year. While some CTA local chapters are large enough to have reps of their own, some CTA local chapters are grouped by size and region in what is known as a "multiple." Livermore is part of a multiple with Dublin and Pleasanton. We are known as Multiple A-2.

In our multiple, we have four State Council Representatives:
• Kelly Sandler, Association of Pleasanton Teachers
• Shelly Fields Tejeda, Livermore Education Association
• Jacquelyn Smith, Association of Pleasanton Teachers
• Tim Sbranti, Dublin Teachers Association

All four of the representatives are elected by the entire tri-valley and represent all CTA members in the tri-valley area. The four reps sit together on the floor of state council and help to bring up issues relevant to the members we represent in the tri-valley. All State Council Reps are available to all CTA members in the tri-valley area, but as each local chapter has a rep known by all of its local members, local members are generally more comfortable approaching "one of their own." But, all CTA members should feel confident that their opinions are shared with all four of the local reps and their opinions are taken all the way to the Council floor. We also work closely with the State Council Representatives from San Ramon and others throughout Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.
