A ballot of members will be held to elect the next General Secretary of NASUWT – The Teachers’ Union.

Following the closure of nominations for the position of General Secretary last week, both Matt Wrack and Neil Butler had met the threshold of being nominated either by the NASUWT’s National Executive or by a minimum of twenty-five NASUWT Local Associations.

Therefore, a postal ballot of members will now commence on 19th June and close on 23rd July. Civica Election Services have been appointed as the independent scrutineer for the purposes of this ballot.

Wayne Broom, NASUWT President, said:

“The General Secretary plays a vital role in helping to lead the Union on a day-to-day basis, in carrying out the policies and resolutions adopted by the Union’s Executive and lay structure and in serving as an advocate for the teaching profession.

“We encourage all members to use their vote once the ballot opens and play their part in deciding who will represent them and become the next General Secretary of the NASUWT.”
