Our People
HWETL is led by a team of elected officers, executive members, committee representatives, and dedicated staff who work together to serve the membership. Each individual brings valuable experience, insight, and a commitment to supporting educators across the Hamilton-Wentworth district. Our leadership team advocates for members in workplaces, at the bargaining table, and within the broader educational community.
Committees focus on areas such as professional learning, equity, health and safety, political action, and member engagement, ensuring that a wide range of voices and perspectives are represented.
At the heart of HWETL are the members themselves. The strength of our local comes from educators who volunteer their time, share their expertise, and work collectively to improve both the profession and the learning environment for students.
