Where?
How? Submit a Resolution and/or New Business Item to be discussed at MEA’s annual Representative Assembly, where members set the direction of the MEA. "It was really inspiring to sit with dedicated educators who felt so passionately about the MEA. I don't think people realize how committed the MEA is to growing the profession of teaching. When you go to an RA and see all of the people committed to the improvement of this professional organization, it makes you proud to be a member. I also was really motivated by NEA President Lily Eskelsen Garcia's mere presence and her speech. It was amazing to see a national leader in education at our little RA in Maine." - Sarah Rubin, Gorham TA
