MNEA Summer Leadership will be July 13-15, 2025, at the DoubleTree Hotel in Chesterfield, MO. This event promises to help you develop the skills necessary to advocate for your members, build capacity, and engage non-members to grow your local union. The three-day conference will kick off with the opening general session at 3 p.m. Sunday, July 13, and run through Tuesday, July 15. Come a little early to check in and register. The MNEA registration table will be open from 1-3 p.m. on Sunday, July 13.

Hotel Accommodations
MNEA will pay for up to two rooms for two nights at double occupancy (Sunday and Monday) for your team to stay at the DoubleTree Hotel in Chesterfield, MO.  Your local will be invoiced for additional rooms that exceed the two paid rooms, including all single rooms requested.

At least one participant per room will need to provide a credit/debit card when checking in at the hotel for any incidentals charged to the room.  

Rooms are $159, plus tax, per night.
MNEA will invoice local associations in June (if applicable) as follows: 

  • MNEA will provide funding for two rooms for both nights if your local association sends at least four leaders (president, vice president, treasurer, membership/organizing chair, or emerging leader).
  • MNEA will bill the local association for all other rooms, including all single rooms.
  • Invoices (if applicable) must be paid by July 1. If the invoice is not paid by July 1, MNEA will deduct any amount owed from your next local dues disbursement.

First, we need to know who’s on your team. 
MNEA will send invited locals a form to complete by May 31 to let us know who will be attending MNEA Summer Leadership. 

Watch your email for more information!
