This page contains pertinent information for those TEA members who are elected delegates to the 2012 NEA-RA.  The NEA-RA is the annual Representative Assembly for the National Education Association.  Delegates to the RA are NEA/TEA members who are elected through their local or state Association.  This year’s RA will be June 30 to July 5 in Washington, D.C.  Anyone seeking election as a delegate to the NEA-RA should contact their local Association President or UniServ coordinator.

Each NEA-RA delegate is requested to make a $180 contribution to the NEA Fund for Children & Public Education.  When you reach your goal, you will receive a specially designed, Tennessee “thank you for your contribution” gift. Delegates will be assigned to a fundraising team chaired by a TEA board member. Click here to learn more.
