The position of UniServ (Short for Unified Service Model) Director was developed by NEA as a blanket title for field staff of primarily state affilitates like MSEA. The idea was to create staff positions that would provide direct service to members of a bargaining unit as it related to contract issues, evaluation appeals, legal matters and grievances. The UniServ position was also created to provide advice and to act as a liason between local education associations, their state affilitates and NEA.
While UniServ Directors still function in these capacities primarily, the job has also broadened in scope to include organizing, public advocacy and building organizational capacity.
Simply put, a UniServ Director works with and on behalf of Association members to fight for public education. As your UniServ Director, I will be there with you advocating for what's best for our schools and the professionals that work in them.
