Donald E. Williams Jr. has been named the next leader of the state’s largest teachers union, the Connecticut Education Association, a political powerhouse with an annual budget of about $20 million and rainy day fund of $13 million.
Williams, 59, served as the leader of the Senate for 10 years before stepping down and landing a job at the CEA as deputy director of professional policy, practice, research, and reform in November 2014.
