Stacey Baldwin-Deyo was elected as CSEA Statewide Secretary by our union’s Board of Directors in April 2025.
Baldwin-Deyo is a proud graduate of our union’s Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) program as part of the ‘LEAD 8’ class.
She is also a shining example of what it means to get active in our union and stay committed. A longtime public employee and union advocate, Baldwin-Deyo began her career as a Greene County Probation Assistant in 2005 and joined CSEA in 2007. As she advanced professionally, becoming a Probation Officer, then a Senior Probation Officer, and ultimately a Probation Supervisor and Warrant Officer in 2021, Baldwin-Deyo’s union involvement deepened alongside her career.
Baldwin-Deyo’s union leadership journey began in 2009 when she joined her unit’s negotiations team. In 2015, concerned her unit lacked a true voice in contract discussions, Baldwin-Deyo spearheaded an ambitious campaign with her 13-member department to separate from the existing Greene County Unit. .
After two years of determined effort, the newly formed CSEA Greene County Dispatch and Probation Unit was recognized in March 2017, more than doubling the original unit’s size.
As lead negotiator, Baldwin-Deyo secured critical gains for her co-workers, including a weapon stipend, uniform allowance, on-call pay and significant salary increases, bringing their compensation in line with comparable probation departments across New York State.
“I’m extremely proud that we fought so hard and were able to achieve this for the 28 of us,” said Baldwin-Deyo.
Her advocacy earned her the trust of fellow CSEA members. In 2017, she was elected Recording Secretary of the Greene County Local. The following year, she became Unit President, and by 2021, she was serving as Local Treasurer, Judicial Board Vice Chair and appointed Capital Region Treasurer, a role to which she was elected in 2024. Baldwin-Deyo held these posts until the Board of Directors elected her as Statewide Secretary in April after CSEA President Mary E. Sullivan nominated her for the office.
Over the years, Baldwin-Deyo has developed expertise in financial stewardship, contract negotiations and leadership training. She is a seasoned trainer, a two-term AFSCME delegate, and a former two-term member of the CSEA Executive Board.
Her contributions extend well beyond titles. Baldwin-Deyo has served on numerous committees, including Auditing, Budget, Constitution and By-Laws, Local Government Executive, and Education. She served as an officer liaison to many of the committees and as a Political Action Fund Trustee up until her most recent appointment.
Outside of union life, Baldwin-Deyo is a dedicated mother of four. Her children include a retired Army veteran and current soccer coach, a New York State Police (NYSP) employee, and twins aspiring to join the New York State Police Academy. She is also the proud grandmother of one “perfect” granddaughter.
“I absolutely love meeting and talking with members,” said Baldwin-Deyo. “I’m not afraid to work hard and will always do my best to support our union and make it stronger for all of us.”
