Report of the Chair We meet in Chicago, Illinois this year facing unprecedented challenges to educators, unions, and public service employees. This is the time for us to unify and to defend our rights. This is the time for all Democrats to become energized in order to turn the tide of reactionary conservatism. It is critically important that Barak Obama should win a second term. We must all, in our own states and local communities, work to get out the vote. Our newsletter was sent in the US mail. The caucus schedule is in it, and it will also be posted on the bulletin boards in the convention center. Our Democratic Caucus Breakfast will be held on July 5th at 8:00 am. The speaker will be Jennifer O’Malley-Dillon, Deputy Director of the national Obama Campaign, and former Chair of the Democratic National Party. See the related article. . Renew your membership at our booth #747 in the NEA EXPO, June 30th to July 2nd, 2011, or with the NEA Democratic Caucus contact in your state delegation. Caucus Elections Nominations for Caucus offices will take place at the first meeting on June 30th at 4:00 in Room S504D in the convention center. Those who wish to be nominated must attend. It is usually a small and short meeting, since nominations are the main purpose. If there is more than one candidate for an office, we will have to plan for an election. Last year the Chair and Secretary were elected to two year terms. This year the Vice-Chair and Treasurer will be elected, also for two-year terms. These are very demanding jobs, and potential candidates must realize that it is a two year commitment. The Caucus Rules of Operation included in this newsletter describe the responsibilities of the officers. Jack Schneider, who did an excellent job last year, is our election committee chair. Jack agreed last year to chair the By-Laws Committee, and will report some suggested changes this year for action next year. State Contacts and Region Coordinators Our booth at the NEA Expo in the convention center, #747, will be open from 9:00 a.m. until 3:45 p.m. just before the membership meeting on June 30th t. and from 9:00am to 5:00pm on July 1st. All State Contacts and Region Coordinators should pick up their packets on this day. It will also be open from 9:00am to 5:00pm on July 1st. If you attend the breakfast you will probably miss your morning state meeting. Please explain to your state official that our breakfast has been authorized by the NEA President, and ask permission to be absent from your state meeting.

What is the NEA Democratic
Caucus? Each year, the National Education Association, NEA, holds an annual meeting called a Representative Assembly. NEA members from around the country, even from around the world, attend the NEA to discuss and formulate the direction of the NEA. A wide variety of caucuses have sprung up over the years out of the specific interests of NEA members. NEA Democrats is a caucus of the NEA delegates to the annual meeting who are members of the Democratic Party in their respective states. This web page helps those delegates get ready for their meetings at the regular annual meeting of the RA. And of course, we like Democrats! |
