CEA Sends Seven to NEA Representative Assembly

The largest union in the world held the largest democratically structured assembly in the world ... the NEA Representative Assembly, which took place July 1-6, 2010, in New Orleans, Louisiana. CEA members Kim Christ, Shaun Creighton, Paula Jones, Dawn Koberstein, Cecilia Loera, Kristi Moreno, and Wendy Zanol gave up part of their summer to represent Chandler at this year's assembly, where NEA members from across the country helped decide NEA's priorities and action items for the coming year.

If you'd like to understand more about what these members did at the RA, check out our blog and our Flickr page, or visit the official NEA RA website.
