What is the structure of the NEA?

The NEA is the local affiliate of the MTA.  There is an elected leadership structure which is divided into several areas of expertise:  President, VP of Negotiations, VPs of rights and responsibilities, VP of communications, VPs of finance and treasury, and VP of membership.  The leadership team has two meetings per month.  One of these meetings is with central office administrators (Superintendent, assistant Superintendents, etc).  The other monthly meeting is with the Executive Board.

 

Other NEA roles are represented within the NEA Executive Board.  These 40 or so individuals make up both the Building Representatives and the Unit Leaders.  These individuals are the first line of communication for issues that may arise, questions you may have, or instances of potential contract violation within each school.  The Executive Team meets once per month to discuss any challenges for employees within the district related to employee rights and responsibilities, upcoming changes in the district, contract negotiations, etc.

 

Please reach out if you’d like to join our Executive Board in one of the vacated posts.
