NTEU Leadership

NTEU is led by two full-time elected officers -- National President Colleen M. Kelley and National Executive Vice President Frank D. Ferris -- and 15 elected district national vice presidents. Kelley, a former IRS Revenue Agent, was first elected to the union's top post in August 1999, after a four-year term as national executive president. She was overwhelmingly re-elected to a second term in August 2003. Her dedication to improving the lives of federal employees is clear from her exemplary service to NTEU and its members at the local and national levels for more than 20 years.
Ferris has served NTEU for over 25 years. Prior to his election as national executive vice president, he was director of NTEU's Negotiations Department. The district national vice presidents sit on the NTEU Executive Board along with Kelley and Ferris.
