President / Presidente
Dawn Etcheverry
As President of the Nevada State Education Association, I have fought alongside you for higher salaries, better benefits, and the respect all educators deserve. Together, we’ve won historic victories and laid the foundation for a stronger future through our NSEA Strategic Plan. But our work isn’t finished. I’m running for re-election because I am committed to pushing forward, advocating for equity, and ensuring every educator is valued and every student has access to the education they deserve. When we stand together, we win—and I’m ready to keep fighting for Nevada’s schools, our educators, and our students.

Vice President / Vice Presidente
Brian Wallace
As your Vice President of the Nevada State Education Association, I have been a champion of the rights of educators, Educational Support Professionals (ESPs), and administrators of our member driven union.
We enjoyed the victory of Time for 20 due to YOU. It is YOU, our members, which drive me to continue lobbying for optimal education funding, policies that attract and retain top talent, and workplace conditions that allow every educator, ESP and administrator to thrive. I will remain a steadfast advocate, ensuring that NSEA continues to be a leading voice for all education professionals in all 17 counties.

NSEA has always been a community to me — a place where we lift each other up, support each other through challenges, and celebrate our victories together. I am deeply passionate about our work and the future of education in Nevada, and I would be honored to continue serving in this new role.
I ask for your trust and vote to serve as Vice President, bringing a strong commitment to public education, advocacy, and leadership. Together, we can continue advancing NSEA’s mission of championing excellence in education while supporting our values of being a member driven organization.
