ASASP Union Times

The camaraderie, influence and excitement of being an active, vibrant, participant in the lives of our youth doesn't have to end at retirement. Lifelong Learners don't ever stop teaching, learning, impacting and influencing education from the State house to the White House. Think about and let me know.

I am sure that the pathmakers like the Janet Briscoe's, John Brooks, Howard Burnettes, Gladys Whiteheads, Mark Fossetts, Oretha Bridgewaters, Robert Gaskins, Rudy Saunders, Helen Coleys, Joan Shorters and Maria Smiths of the PGCPS world would love to continue to strategize, positively impact and socialize around the work they loved in PGCPS for so many years. Not only that, but the influence and power such a group could have down in Annapolis is tremendous, especially when you add in the Robin Pope-Browns, Leatrice Covingtons, Rhonda Pitts, Danny Miller and Ronald Hollis' out there. I'm calling all Unit 3 and Unit 2 and executive retirees that were trailblazers in the halls of PGCPS to come join us, but first I want to know what you think about it. Please be honest!

Just so you know, our fellow New York City Administrators have over ten thousand retirees standing with their current working union members and the impact their voices have in the New York Legislature is incredible. LMK what you think!

Please put 2026 ASASP Pullover in the subject. Also include your personal email address with your size. You can thank Board Member Brian Makell , a leader on our Membership committee for the design and footwork necessary to make our new pullovers a reality.

Thank you for your membership, support and dedication to the education of our young people. Feel free to reach out to the board to share concerns, we are here to serve!!

A Word from our National Affiliate AFSA

Benefits of AFSA

Beginning in March, 2026, I and members of my staff will be seeking to get to know you and your concerns even better. I am planning weekly visits to our non-school based sights to connect with most of our Unit 3 and Unit 2 members that we miss when we just visit the schools. I will be notifying you all when we will be visiting your building with brew, breakfast and/or lunch on ASASP.

We will set up there for a couple of hours and provide you with pertinent information, a drink and a bite to eat if that is ok with you. You can drop in for a minute or 30 if you have the time, that's completely up to you.

I am looking forward to getting your input, your perspective and your concerns addressed.

ASASP is working on a Meet and Greet in March, April and May. We are considering a few locations. ASASP would foot the bill for the food and non-alcoholic beverages. The Busboy and Poet's on Route One in Hyattsville in one place we have in mind that may be able accomodate a large number of us. More information will be forthcoming very soon........ Stay tuned!
