The Fresh AIR campaign began in 2025. AIR is an acronym for Advocate, Inform, and Recognize. With regular presentations at Gateway board meetings, GTEA officials have been advocating for secure and balanced educating conditions, presenting information about our college, and recognizing the valuable contributions of educators.
GTEA officials and members have long advocated before the board and to the administration about the importance of fair wages, benefits, and education conditions. This advocacy has resulted in the majority of Gateway educators feeling they are paid and treated fairly at the college.
GTEA officials and members have provided the board and administration with qualitative and quantitative evidence about the college's finances, students, education, and working conditions. It's important that decision makers have evidence from the people working directly with students when making decisions.
GTEA officials have brought members before the board and administration to share their achievements at the college, in the community, and in their professions. Our educators go beyond the basic work requirements. They deserve recognitions, and the board and administration need to know about their good work.
