Ms. N. Charlene McCoy - “My name is N. Charlene McCoy.  I am seeking to serve on the TRS Board to represent the TRS members and their concerns.  I am mindful of the need to maintain our Retirement and Health Insurance benefits.  I am a native of Alabama, who prior to teaching for 22 years, worked in the medical field and witnessed the results of having good insurance versus poor insurance.  I am also a frugal person and can see the value of holding cost down.  I currently serve as an elected member from the AEA Board to the AEA Budget commission.  I value the opinion of those more experienced than I, and will work with Dr. Hubbert and Dr. Bronner to maintain a sound retirement system and insurance plan.  I, Charlene McCoy, would appreciate your vote and support.”

 

Ms. LaDonna Macon, Incumbent - “I promise to serve all public education employees.  I want to be their voice on the Retirement Systems Board and work to preserve their rightful retirement and benefits.”
