The Montgomery County Education Association (MCEA) is mourning the loss of former president Chris Lloyd. The following e-mail was sent to MCEA members by current president Jennifer Martin:
“It is with deepest sorrow that I inform you that former MCEA President Chris Lloyd has died following a long illness.
Chris was a visionary and inspiring union leader. He cared deeply about his colleagues’ wellbeing, our students’ success, and the future of public education.
Like so many of you, I considered him a mentor and brother. Chris’s funeral will be held privately, but a celebration of his life will be planned for a later date. His wife, Pam, asks that we not send flowers or plants.
Donations in memory of Chris may be made to the following charities:
