NEA RA

OGEA Membership includes membership to our National Union, The National Education Association (NEA). The National Education Association’s Representative Assembly (NEA RA) is held once a year during the last week of June and/or first week of July. The Annual Meeting kicks off with conferences, committee meetings, and events. The RA takes place during the final four days of the Annual Meeting. The location of the meeting varies year to year. You can think of it as our Congress where policies are debated and voted on. 

The RA is responsible for setting the priorities for the Association for the year. The RA Delegates adopt the strategic plan and budget, resolutions, the legislative program, and other policies of NEA. Delegates propose, debate, and take action on new business items for the Association and vote by secret ballot on proposed amendments to the Constitution and Bylaws. Those delegates with full voting rights elect the executive officers, Executive Committee members, and at-large members of the NEA Board of Directors, as appropriate.

For more information, please read about what the RA adopted at this past Summer’s RA, which ultimately affects us as a whole organization: RA TODAY
