Adapting to changes
In 1978, Hobart was challenged from within when Executive Vice President Dan Sanders ran against him for president and lost.
Jim Wood, who served on the NYSUT Board of Directors at that time, reflected that challenges to leadership are part of the union democracy. "I remember that the challenge did bring up issues that needed to be addressed, such as hiring a comptroller for the growing organization and establishing a public relations operation that would coordinate efforts between the state organization and needs of local unions. Tom worked very hard to address them and made the union stronger."
