2009 Annual Meeting and Representative Assembly (RA)
The World's Largest Democratic, Deliberative Body
Delegates will gather July 1 through July 6 in San Diego, CA for the Association's 147th Annual Meeting and 88th Representative Assembly.
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.
