National Education Association Representative Assembly 2010
NEA leaders and delegates from state and local affiliates will gather July 1 through July 6, 2010, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana for the Association's 148th Annual Meeting and 89th Representative Assembly. CEA suggested travel dates: June 30 and July 7
The National Education Association Representative Assembly (RA) is NEA's highest decision-making body. With over 9,000 delegates, it is also the world's largest democratic, deliberative body.
The RA is convened every July during the Annual Meeting. The first two days are devoted to discussions, conferences, and exhibits—but the highlight is the Representative Assembly itself. During this important event, delegates debate issues that impact American public education, elect top officers, and set policy for the 3.2 million-member Association.
