Join Us at 2026 NDU Delegate Assembly
On Saturday, April 18, 2026, this year’s North Dakota United Delegate Assembly will be held at the Radisson Hotel in downtown Bismarck. 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, meet and network with their colleagues and fellow NDU members from across the state, and choose our state's delegates to the National Education Association (NEA) Representative Assembly (RA), to be held on July 3-7, 2026, in Denver, Colorado.

NDU & You
Speakers for NDU Delegate Assembly
While Delegate Assembly is where the business of our union gets done, it’s also a chance to step back, learn and be inspired. Each year, we invite guest speakers from across North Dakota and the country to share their experiences, insights and ideas — all rooted in a common goal of strengthening public education and the communities we serve. Here’s a look at who will be joining us this year.

Who Will Be Our 2027 ND United ESP of the Year?
Education Support Professionals (ESPs) are the backbone of our public schools in North Dakota. Without these dedicated individuals — from paraprofessionals and administrative staff to custodians, food service workers and beyond — our schools simply wouldn’t function the way our students need them to. Here are the three finalists for North Dakota United's annual contest of ESP of the Year.

Leading with Courage and Pride in Community
In a time when authenticity can feel risky, Dr. Bridget Brooks of the University of North Dakota has chosen to lead with courage. Inspired by UND’s OUTlist, which publicly celebrates LGBTQ+ faculty and staff, Brooks and her wife, Jody, founded the UND LGBTQ+ Endowment to support the university’s Pride Center — the only one of its kind at a North Dakota higher education institution.
