Ang Anderson is a 28 year educator. She began her teaching career in Florida where she taught middle school social studies and language arts as well as gifted and talented. For the past twenty-one years, she has been a social studies teacher in Jeffco at Bear Creek High School, teaching American History, Psychology, Economics, AP Human Geography, and AP Micro and Macroeconomics.
Ang learned about the importance of the union growing up with educators in her own family, and she has been a union member her entire career. She stepped into leadership during the dark years of Jeffco when extreme school board members tried to break the union and decimate our public schools. She became an Association Representative in 2014 and was part of a team that organized Bear Creek educators to play an active role in recalling that board. Since then, she has attended delegate assembly annually, spent several summers participating in organizing programs, and played an active role in various JCEA teams.
Ang served as a CEA Board member from 2016-2022. From 2017-2025 she served as Mountain Region Director for the National Council for Urban Education Associations Executive Committee. In 2022, she was elected to the NEA Board of Directors for Colorado and continues to be in this role while also serving on the CEA Executive Committee. Locally, she is also the JCEA Secretary.
Michelle Moehlis has 25 years of classroom experience as a Spanish teacher all at the same High School - Green Mountain High School. She was an instructional leader and has served as department chair the last five years. She also started and runs the school's Honors Language Program.
Michelle was a union member and walked for elections over the years but similar to Ang, her involvement really began in 2014 with the election of the anti-public school board. At that time we did not have an Association Representative in the building so she stepped up to the role to help organize our building in opposition to the harmful and disruptive policies and contract changes initiated by the board. With the use of grass-roots organizing and community outreach we won what seldom few school districts had - a recall of the Witt, Newkirk, and Williams.
After this victory Michelle became more active still, helping to co-found our bargaining support team which she chaired for two years. At that time she joined the JCEA bargaining team and was soon named chair of the Negotiations and Advocacy Action Team and she has been in that role and sat on the Operation Board for JCEA for six years. In that time she has bargained two full contracts and helped to win a new more competitive salary schedule and coach/sponsor salary schedule. She also helped add five new articles to the contract including for Equity, SPED, AMP, nurses, and remote learning. In those six years she has presented multiple years at both CEA and NEA Bargaining and Leadership Conferences helping to train future union leaders.
