Submit Your Questions for the Delegate-Board/Staff Discussion
Have a question you’d like answered at the Delegate-Board/Staff Discussion? Send them to us at [email protected] by 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 24. While we will accept questions during the session, we encourage you to submit them in advance.
Questions for the Board discussion are intended to be general in nature. Questions about a specific situation or membership should be sent through a secure message in MyNYSTRS.
Election of a Teacher Board Member
Delegates attending the 2025 Annual Delegates Meeting will elect an active teacher to NYSTRS’ Board of Trustees.
Natalie McKay, a teacher in the Schoharie Central School District, is running for election for the 2026-2029 term on the Board. She was appointed to the Board earlier this year by New York State Commissioner of Education Dr. Betty A. Rosa and is running unopposed.
State law requires an election to occur even if the incumbents are unopposed. Delegates will vote to adopt the Rules of Procedure for the teacher trustee election during the election on Monday, Nov. 3. Delegates must be present to participate in the voice vote.
An alternate can only vote in the teacher Board member election if their delegate is unable to attend. Their employer must notify NYSTRS by 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 31 that the alternate is attending and voting in the delegate's place. They must make this change in the CDS section of the Employer Secure Area.
About Delegates
Elected by peers at their district, NYSTRS delegates serve two important functions: to elect a teacher member to the Retirement Board at the Annual Delegates Meeting, and to serve as a liaison between NYSTRS and the members in their district.
