NEA Representative Assembly

Indianapolis

June 30-July 4, 2027 

The NEA Representative Assembly is one of the largest democratic bodies in the nation. With more than 8,000 delegates representing state and local NEA affiliates, Aspiring Educators, retired members, and others from the united education profession, it is the best way to see the National Education Association's democracy in action. 

The NEA Representative Assembly is the primary legislative and policymaking body of the National Education Association and derives its powers from, and is responsible to, the membership. The NEA Representative Assembly adopts the strategic plan and budget, resolutions, the Legislative Program, and other policies of the Association. Delegates vote on proposed amendments to the Constitution and Bylaws. Those delegates with full voting rights elect the executive officers, Executive Committee members, and at-large members of the NEA Board of Directors, as appropriate. Check the NEA RA page for more information. 

Delegates from across Missouri will participate in the NEA RA. Missouri NEA's state delegates are elected by MNEA active members*. MNEA is committed to racial and ethnic minority involvement, and we are happy to report that the composition of the MNEA delegation has consistently reflected the ethnic minority population in Missouri.

^{*Eligible Active Members: Only NEA Active and Active Life members may vote (MNEA Retired and Student members hold their own elections).}
