It is with pleasure that AEOE announce our newly elected Board Member, Member-at-Large Maria Gonzalez. Maria has committed her talents and skills to LAUSD staff and students for 30 years.
She currently works as a senior secretary in the Leadership Academy, under the umbrella of Talent Management, which offers trainings for newly assigned principals, Master Program Institute training, and Developing Leaders Program. Maria has previously served as an educational aide, office assistant, and a school administrative assistant.
“I joined AEOE because one of my good friends is very involved and I like the things that she told me what AEOE does for students and community members and I wanted to be a part of it,” said Maria. “I like helping other people, and I like to share my skills, time, and knowledge. I am also involved with my community and church.”
Maria comes from a family with deep roots in the educational field: principal, athletic director, school psychologist, high school math teacher, and special education aide. Her husband Jose is a LAUSD elementary school teacher. They have two daughters: Andrea attends UC Santa Cruz and Alejandra attends Cal Poly Pomona.
Part of her new responsibilities will be to determine how AEOE can help meet the needs of LAUSD classified employees. We are pleased that Maria has accepted membership confidence in her and we know she will represent our members well. Welcome, Maria!
