See you inDenver
There’s no time like the present to seriously consider becoming a delegateto the National Education Association Representative Assembly (NEA RA).
The most important part of being a member of an association like the Illinois Educa-tion Association is the ability to have one’s voice heard on a variety of issues that af-fect the working conditions of school employees and learning environments of studentsacross this nation.
One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is to become a delegate to the NEARA. This assembly is one of the largest democratically elected deliberative bodies inthe world when it is seated, and the debates on educational issues are a true reflec-tion of what each member experiences in his or her community.
To become a part of such an important, exciting and influential assembly, follow thesesteps:
1. Note the deadlines below for submitting required paperwork.
2. Fill out the required forms on pages 3-5 of this issue and send it via certifiedmail to the IEA before the stated deadline.
3. Notify your local president, region council chairperson, and any other leaders inyour area that you are running to be a delegate. Solicit their support and ask themto spread the word.
4. If you are a minority, and we strongly encourage minorities to run, be sure to no-tify IEA minority caucus chairpersons so they can assist you in gathering votesacross the state.
5. Make sure you are aware of the issues that we face nationally and talk about yourdesire to influence the debate with all IEA members you encounter. Check the IEA(www.ieanea.org) and NEA (www.nea.org) websites for issues of importance.
6. Make sure people in your local know you are running and that they VOTE whenthe time comes.
Is it your turn to represent our state?

JANUARY 2014 Advocate|9
State nomination proceduresOpen nominations will be ac-
cepted in January. Written nom-inations must consist of thename, region, address, section,position sought and must besent to the IEA-NEA president’soffice by certified mail. Mem-bers may nominate themselves.Nominees may submit a candi-date statement of no more than100 characters to be mailed
out with the ballots. (Statements must not include an exhortationto vote for the candidate and must be non promotional, factualand objective).
Local nomination procedures At least six weeks prior to the election date, notice of nomina-
tions must be distributed in any manner reasonably calculated toreach all members in time to permit members enough time to in-clude the name of the nominee and local, the name of the nomi-nator and local, and the written consent of the nominee.Nomination forms will be received at least three weeks prior tothe election date.
The number of seats will be based on the number of membersin your local association.
IEA recommends that members nominate themselves well beforethe deadline to rectify any delivery problem. Watch for more informa-tion in the IEA insider and at www.ieanea.org
IllinoisreflectsAn organization that
NEA and IEA are committed to achieving ethnic-minority delegaterepresentation at the NEA Representative Assembly (NEA RA) thatis at least equal to the proportion of identified ethnic-minority populations within the state.
For Illinois, that adds up to about 36 percent.IEA has consistently sent a delegation to the NEA RA with strong
ethnic minority representation, but short of the proportion of ethnic minorities in the state’s population. If 121 additional members who identify as ethnic minorities were elected as delegates to the annual NEA RA, IEA would reach our goal.
IEA encourages all members, including ethnic-minority members, to consider becoming a delegate.
Members are encouraged to place their names in nomination forany or all of the delegate seats listed at right. Members may runboth as state and local delegates. If elected for both seats, you canlater decide which credentials to claim.
That’s what the Illinois Education Association is striving for. Help us reach our 3-1(g) goal.
