NEA’s Representative Assembly adopts the strategic plan and budget, resolutions, the Legislative Program, and other policies of the Association.

 

 

The 2025 NEA Representative Assembly will be held on July 2 – 6, 2025 in Portland, Oregon.

There will be NO virtual option to attend this year. This year will be all in-person in Portland.

More details to come as they are made available by NEA.

Here is the link to the NEA Delegate Resource Page:  https://ra.nea.org/delegate-resources/

Hotel Information:

The Wisconsin delegation hotel will be the Canopy Portland – Pearl District Hotel.  We have negotiated a rate of $ 189.00 plus taxes in a group room block. This for a single/double hotel room with a $20 charge for additional guests above 2 people per room.

The room block expires on June 6 so please make sure to make your reservations by that date. We are recommending that all delegates stay at the Wisconsin delegation hotel because we have signed a contract and need to fill our room block at the hotel. In this contract, the Canopy is not allowed to sell rooms at a rate less than our negotiated rate so this should be the best possible rate for the Canopy Hotel during our stay.

Please use this link to make your hotel reservations….
