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.

T he following regional elections will be conducted for RegionChair/NEA RA State Delegate, Region Vice Chair/AlternateNEA RA Delegate and/ or Region Council Ethnic-Minority

Representative to fill unexpired terms.In the event of an emergency school closing on the date of an

election, the election will be conducted on the first day back toschool.
