Lily is a dynamic woman! In her tenure with NEA I have known her to be an outstanding personality, a treasurer who is clear and concise, and a leader who is inclusive of the diverse membership of the Association. She has my 110% support.
Guy De Rosa – NEA Board Member, California NEA GLBT Caucus Membership Director
Lily is a proven leader who has a record of support for local unit and state associations. She has a very keen insight into the issues affection pre-K to 16 education issues. As Secretary-Treasurer, Lily has the wonderful ability to make clear and understandable the most complex of budget and retirement concepts and reports. She is the ideal person for NEA Vice President!

"Lily is a strong forceful leader, who uses her intellect, charm, and humor to confront the enemies of education, and point out the absurdity of their positions."
Doug Bache, Vice President
Nevada State Education Association
As an education student, I often am being questioned on why I would desire to pursue a career in education. Hearing Lily speak with such enthusiasm and support for teachers reminded me how excited I am to begin teaching and why I wanted to teach in the first place. She serves as such a positive and needed role model to students entering the field of education. I strongly support Lily for Vice president.

Lily is a wonderful leader of our association. Her professionalism and record speak for themselves; it's her way of presenting information that amazes me. Who else can present budget numbers so humorously and engagingly? Her personal touch to NEA business is appreciated.

Lily has a gift for delivering factual messages from her heart. She ferociously fights for NEA and its members like a mother bear defending her cubs! And she blends it all with humor that makes her a beloved leader. She will be a GREAT NEA VP!!

"It was my distinct pleasure to work on the NEA Tomorrow project under Lily's capable leadership. She maintained a calm, firm and focused demeanor as we struggled to capture the true essence of the organization in our public statements of belief. Lily's breadth of experience, from articulating core values to making a budget hearing a tolerable experience, has truly prepared her for this next leadership role. We simply could not ask for a better role model and spokesperson!
