Denise Garlick Earns Education Endorsement From the Massachusetts Teachers Association.
NEEDHAM - Denise Garlick, Vice-Chairman of the Needham Board of Selectmen and Democratic candidate for State Representative in the 13th Norfolk District, has received the endorsement of the Massachusetts Teachers Association, recognizing her commitment to the students and teachers in this district.
“My goal as State Representative is to empower the teachers of Massachusetts to give our students the best possible education, and I am honored to have their support. Massachusetts is already a leader in public education nationwide; I will work hard to uphold that standard,” she said.
“Denise Garlick has the experience and leadership ability to be an effective State Representative. The students and educators of Massachusetts would be fortunate to have her in the State House,” said MTA President Paul Toner.
The MTA represents more than 100,000 educators, administrators and education support professionals in public education. It advocates for quality public education in an environment in which lifelong education and innovation flourish.
Denise’s commitment to education extends beyond her position as a member of the Board of Selectmen in Needham, a community that holds education in high regard and produces top-notch results. She served as a community representative on Needham’s Superintendant Search Committee that selected current superintendant Dan Gutenkanst in 2006.
Working with the Needham Public Schools, she helped found and served as the first co-Chairman of the Needham Coalition for Suicide Prevention, a community organization formed in 2007 following the tragic loss of four adolescents to suicide in just over a year and a half.
In her professional life, Denise is currently the Community Outreach Nurse Educator at Wellesley College.
Denise and her husband Russell raised four children in Needham: Monica, Elizabeth, Alex and Andy, that all attended the Needham Public Schools. They also led the development of a day program for intellectually delayed young adults at the Charles River Center in Needham.
The 13th Norfolk District includes Needham, Dover and parts of Medfield. The Democratic Primary will be held on September 14th.
