Every year’s Delegate Assembly is centrally important in charting the course for our union. This year will be no different, as our members are given the great opportunity and responsibility to share in the governance decisions of our statewide union of public employees and educators, elect members of our Board of Directors, and choose statewide delegates to the National Education Association (NEA) Representative Assembly (RA), to be held on July 4-7, 2024, in Philadelphia, Pa.
When & Where
The NDU Delegate Assembly will convene at ND’s Gateway to Science, in the Innovation Room, on Saturday, April 20, at 8:30 a.m. At the Assembly, members will participate in the governance decisions of NDU, elect NDU Board members and delegates to the NEA Representative Assembly, reignite old friendships, create new friendships, and hear from national leaders on issues important to all ND United members.
Delegate Report Form
Each local is guaranteed at least one representative. Larger locals are allowed one (1) per 50 members, see your count on the “delegates by local” attachment.
