Educators need a voice anywhere that decisions are made.
We have multiple opportunities to advocate for educators, our students and our schools, which is especially important with our current campaigns as union members. The National Education Association Representative Assembly (or NEA-RA) is the highest decision-making body within the NEA, and is the world’s largest democratic deliberative body. Every year, RA delegates debate the vital issues that impact American education and establish policy for the year ahead. It’s more important than ever that SDEA educators are represented. Are you interested in representing your fellow educators at this year’s Representative Assembly? The 2025 NEA Representative Assembly will be held in Portland, OR, from July 2-5, 2025. Apply through the CTA before January 31, 2025! Declaration of Candidacy Forms are available online.
