NEA REPRESENTATIVE ASSEMBLY

The NEA/RA is in Atlanta, Georgia this year.  Delegates will be expected to attend the assembly from July 2 to July 6, 2020 (arriving July 1 and departing July 7).  The NEA/RA is an amazing assembly where members of NEA from all over the country gather together and through democratic process, using Roberts Rules determine the policies of our national organization.  It is the largest democratic body in our nation. If elected to represent your colleagues at the NEA/RA you will be required to attend all California Caucuses which begin at 7:00 am and all sessions of the full NEA body which will meet until the conclusion of all business items on the last day of the assembly.   There are countless other caucuses and meetings to get involved in if you choose.  Please click here to see the SCTA policy on delegate requirements.  You will also find more information at the NEA website:

There may be the possibility of other unfunded positions.  The delegate positions will be decided in the order of the number of votes received for each candidate.   Please click to view the NEA RA Election Announcement and the Candidacy Form.
