About Elizabeth Langiulli

A union's strength lies in its chapters and locals. That belief has governed Elizabeth Langiulli's career since she became a union activist while teaching English at John Adams High School in Queens. Langiulli is a recipient of NYSUT's "Not for Ourselves Alone:" Sandy Feldman Outstanding Leadership award. An active unionist, Langiulli began her teaching career in the late 1950s, eventually serving as a UFT chapter leader - at the time, one of only five women high school chapter leaders in the city. She was later elected a UFT district representative and, within four years, appointed a Queens borough representative by then-UFT President Feldman. Langiulli served as a member of the NYSUT Board of Directors and worked as a special assistant to the current UFT president, Randi Weingarten.
