Margaret Chaney has worked in education for more than 35 years. Prior to her election as AEA Treasurer, she served as president of the Tucson Education Association, where she established a reputation for asking questions, presenting possibilities, and calmly and patiently listening to members while helping them create solutions. As a veteran classroom teacher and now mentor teacher, she understands the hardship that certified and classified staff face in the ever-changing attacks against public education. Transparency, fiscal responsibility, and solidarity are the foundations of her work on behalf of AEA members.
Margaret holds a B.S from Southern Illinois University and a Master's in Education from Northern Arizona University.
