Jeannette Logue, Board Member

Jeannette Logue has had two professional careers. Following college graduation, she taught at the elementary and junior high levels in the Happy Valley Union Elementary School District for seventeen years. During that time she was spokesperson for the teachers’ union in negotiating their first collective
bargaining agreement and served as advocated for the teachers in several capacities. She was elected to CTA’s statewide policymaking body during that time, representing Northstate teachers for ten years.

In 1988, Jeannette was hired by CTA to represent teachers in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties and moved with her husband to Eureka. This work entailed representing teacher chapters in contract bargaining, grievances up to and including arbitration, mediations, factfinding, and unfair labor practices. She was promoted to the position of Assistant Executive Director – Region 1 at CTA’s state headquarters in Burlingame in CTA in 1994, at which time they moved to San Bruno. This position placed 19 CTA offices and staff within the 16 Northern California Counties under her immediate direction. Jeannette retired from CTA employment in 2006, and they returned to live in Redding.

As a young child in the 1950’s Jeannette’s parents moved the family from the Bay Area to Oklahoma City, which was completely racially segregated at the time. She and her mother and siblings returned to California in 1960, moving to Santa Cruz near grandparents. The experience of living in two such extremely different environments with regard to race, impacted her deeply. As a college student she worked part-time at the Educational Opportunity Program at Chico State, she served on the Civil Rights in Education Committee at CTA for ten years, also helping develop policies regarding LGBTQ school employees and students, and is active in Shasta County community organizations whose values include
racial and social justice. Jeannette enjoys spending time painting in her art studio, and is an avid reader.
