This year, it is with great pleasure that we congratulate Tyra Rose Weis, President of the Associated Pomona Teachers on being selected as the recipient of this year’s Pomona Valley Democratic Club Hope Award for 2010. The “Hope Award” is the highest accolade bestowed by the Pomona Valley Democratic Club and was created with the distinct purpose of honoring individuals in the Pomona Valley region that have come to embody not just our Democratic values and principles, but have inspired us through their hard work, personal courage and great sacrifice “to achieve a more perfect union” as President Obama so eloquently encouraged.
The “Hope Award” will be presented to Miss Tyra Rose Weis at the Toast to Hope, Wine Tasting and Fundraising event on Thursday, October 14, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. at the 2nd Street Bistro located in Downtown Pomona. The event honors and celebrates the grassroots efforts and civic activism required to make changes in our American political system. The term “Hope” is used as a means of uniting Americans and to work towards a better future.
Please don’t miss this great opportunity to meet fellow Democrats that share with you a desire to better our community.

Background: Tyra Rose Weis, President of the Associated Pomona Teachers
Tyra is in her second year as APT President. She was elected by the teachers after serving 15 years as an elementary classroom teacher at San Antonio Elementary. She has been a Pomona resident for 33 years and has been actively involved in the community in a variety of roles. She is graduate of Mount San Antonio College and Cal Poly Pomona where she obtained a communication arts degree, a teaching credential and a masters degree in Design Based Learning. She also graduated from the Pomona Police Department’s Citizens Police Academy. She has benefitted the students of Pomona Unified through her tireless efforts advocating for public education locally and at the state level by serving in APT and CTA leadership roles. Under Tyra’s presidency, historic changes have been instituted by the APT to run an independent campaign for the PUSD school board, successfully electing two new board members. She also has established a School Board Contact Program to develop deeper, stronger relationships with school board members. Prior to her teaching career, Tyra served as a writer for Pomona First Federal, media relations for the Los Angeles County Fair and pasteup, proofreading and reporting for the Ontario Daily Report (now Inland Valley Daily News).
