Lark Pugh, MCEA's Past Treasurer, passed away

years and very active in her roles. She served as Board Director

The Maryland Classified Employees Association has been advocating
for the rights of State employees for 75 years, and that
dedication and mission will continue for the next 75 years
and beyond! These are difficult times for all Marylanders,
but sadly, as always, the State's financial hardships are
felt most keenly by State workers. We plan to continue to
provide representation, advocacy, and support for the men
and women who serve this State, and toward that end MCEA's
leaders are looking to ways to strengthen our Association
and protect our legacy and our voice. All such efforts are
being made with the goal of expanding not only the power
of MCEA, but the power of the collective voices of State
employees - we need to be truly working together during these
trying times, toward our common goal of a better workplace
for all!
Please support MCEA's efforts - we continue, everyday, to
represent our members and to advocate for the rights of all
State and public employees in Maryland. As always, our most
important job is yours!
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
MCEA does not have any charitable contribution sites on the
internet, nor do any other groups
or non-profit organizations have the authority to collect
money on behalf of MCEA! If you see any of these on the
internet asking for money, these ARE NOT authorized by MCEA!
Please
don't fall for any of these scams. Thank you.
