Tom Hall: Active teacher candidate for STRS Board in 2006 election

From Tom Curtis (10/10/2005)

I am pleased to announce that Dr. Thomas Hall, Ph.D. has announced his desire to become an active teacher candidate for the STRS board in the next election.

Two active teacher positions will be elected this coming spring. The current Chair, Robert Brown and Vice Chair, Conni Ramser were appointed in 2003 by the prior board. They are fulfilling the terms of retiring board members Hazel Sidaway and Jack Chapman. You may remember that the board selects the replacement and not the membership for a vacated term. I am told Robert Brown will not seek election, whereas Conni Ramser will seek election to the board this spring.

Tom Hall is a prior active teacher candidate for the position Jack Chapman vacated in fall 2003. He obviously was not the choice by the board of that time. However, he has great credentials and I personally felt he had the most to offer the board of the five candidates wishing to fill that position at that time. Considering his background and available time to serve on our board, I remain convinced that he is a very worthy candidate.

Tom Hall is a college Professor of Economics at Miami University, where he started as an Assistant Professor of Economics in 1982. He became an Associate Professor in May of 1988. From May 1988 to August 1989 he was on a leave of absence to work as a Visiting Senior Economist, US State Department, Bureau of Economics and Business Affairs, Planning and Economics Analysis Staff. From July 1993 to present, he has served as a full Professor of Economics at Miami University. He has published numerous articles throughout his career and has written three books to date.

It is my hope that Thomas Hall will be elected to one of the active teacher board positions this spring and will begin his 4-year term on September 1, 2006.
