REGISTER NOW: NCUEA 2024 Fall Conference Providence, RI
This year, we will hold our annual fall conference on December 4-7, 2024 in Providence, Rhode Island – a state where the word “hope” is enshrined on its flag. We will gather around the theme, “Infinite Hope: Raising Expectations to Win the Schools and Communities We Deserve.”
In a moment of historic division where the forces of privatization and racial injustice are tightening their grip, we look to the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” It is this spirt of infinite hope that propels each of us to keep fighting for our students, our communities, and for our union.
Don’t miss this unrivaled opportunity to attend dozens of breakout sessions led by your peers, network with local leaders from across the country, and deepen the knowledge, skills, and relationships you need to build a powerful, agenda-driving local.
