The National Education Association (NEA) Representative Assembly will be held July 3-7 in Denver, CO, and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Convention will be held July 16-19 in Washington, DC. These are the largest governing bodies of our national unions, with thousands of elected delegates from across the country coming together to set policy and priorities of our national unions. This is an amazing way to bring our perspectives to the national stage and to collaborate with other educators from across the country to help determine the direction of our profession. Please fill out the nomination forms below by March 5th (ESP chapter) and March 25th (teacher chapter) if you are interested in attending either of these important conventions. ​For each of these conventions, MFE will fund 3 delegates from the ESP chapter and 5 delegates from the teacher chapter. If you're interested in being a self-funded delegate to either of these conventions, please contact the Elections Committee at electioncomm@mfe59.org. ​​​​​​
